Hi All, Ernie just reminded me how long its been since I have been HERE. Thanks for the nudge Ernie. I am doing fantastic. I completed 6 weeks of rehab and opted to stop earlier than they usually suggest because I was doing so well from the start. Rehab staff told me the first week they didn't think I would be there long....so I am back on my previous exercise routines and doing fine. I have helped my husband raise a wrought iron fence and rebuild an exterior wall on the house. I would say that means I am Good to Go. There are still a few twinges in the incision site occasionally, but nothing to even really think about. I have passed all my post surgery testing with flying colors, which is what we all strive for. This has been an amazing learning experience and I hope to continue being able to share and encourage those facing heart surgery. In fact, after my surgery at a meeting, I found out that an acquaintance that I have known for some time had this same surgery when she was 18. I encouraged her to check out this site as she will likely be facing surgery again in the next few years. I have found friends and support on this site so I try to encourage others facing these issues to do the same.
