I have a question, how soon after being released from the hospital did every one start to get back to their normal routine of doinf things around your house, venturing outside and going back to work?

Marie Myers I sat outside in the sun as soon as I got home, and started short walks down the driveway within a few days. My walks got longer bit by bit. I started doing little things around the house a week or so after discharge from the hospital. All these things were punctuated by rests and naps. I started cardiac rehab 3 weeks after surgery, and that helped boost my sagging confidence. At 8 weeks, I felt good enough to return to work 2 days a week. It is all a slow process, and a real lesson in patience!

Darrin Vohs Procedure: Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Repair.
Progress: 2 weeks walking more and doing some minimal work around the house, 3 weeks driving and walking more and doing more work around the house, 4 weeks (30 days actually) went back to work from home (about 75% of the day), week 5 started cardio rehab, working full-time from home. It seemed like after 14 days I started feeling much better and I had to pace myself so I didn't push it too hard.

Pat Bluemel I got home Saturday, and started walking around my yard Sunday. I'm doing those little things around the house too. Unloaded the dishwasher, but couldn't put stuff on high shelves. Sorted laundry with my feet. Think I'll take a supervised walk with my pup this afternoon. Remember to do little things and then rest. And you aren't kidding about that afternoon tired stuff. My off hours are from 3pm - 7pm ish. Feel like crud then.
