I am not sure what happened but last weekend it seemed that I turned some sort of corner. I have been feeling better. Therapy is progressing, started working on arms too. My chest was really sore when I started. I am going to be seeking counseling for the emotional issues. Scheduled to see the cardiologist Tuesday to get the release to go back to work. A little apprehensive about returning, it has been 12 weeks. I believe it will be a good thing though. This has been a long journey for me. Healing from this surgery has taken a lot longer than any other surgery I have ever had. I feel so much better, physically at least. I did not even know I had anything wrong with me before October 20. The adjustments that I am having to make in my life (medications, monitoring INR, watching certain foods, etc) will take more time. Because I have to be on blood thinners for the rest of my life I was able to get a home monitoring system to do my own INR tests. I am so thankful to God for all he has brought me through.
