Are you driving already? Didnt you just have heart surgery?

yeah..today I can drive....first day I can...I can't lift over 7 lbs or push or pull things like a lawn mower...shoot a basketball, etc....I'm still 12 days from those activities but I'm bruised like an eggplant...my heart is way better than it was before so my energy is top notch but my wounds are still healing ..I'm bandaged up is all. Other than soreness I feel great! This is nowhere near as debilitating as my hernia surgery...that recovery was two months of hell...this one they don't go through muscle tissue...just two veins to enter the heart....it's pretty slick.

Good man. Glad this one wasn't to hard on you. Yeah my hernia recovery was a bitch too last summer. Yours was inguinal wasn't it?
 
yes...that was the worst recovery I've ever had...this is nothing like that. Just some groin soreness

Mine was hiatal. They had trouble because my diaphragm is so thin. Dr said I have the diaphragm of a 70 year old which can't be good. Two months in bed for the most part, liquid diet for most of it. Sucked ass.

I was bed ridden for 6 weeks and sore as hell and weak for another month at least.....and it set my heart back into afib from not excercising over that period...that surgery actually caused me to relapse and have to have my last heart surgery....when it rains it pours..hopefully I'm over any more of that shit

Damn. Well glad you made it through man
 
Kept awake most of last night by idiots shooting fireworks. Which are illegal, keep everyone awake ( even ear plugs and headphones won't block those bangs), terrify animals, are a fire hazard and leave a mess. So tired I feel sick and know tonight will be worse, expect more Sunday night. I used to go stay at my father's house to get away from fireworks until how died.
 
Red, White, and Berry short cake for dessert. Delicious!

Sorry to hear it. Crap, heart surgery. Heed the advice more than a couple doctors have given me, there's not an ailment known that exercise will make worse. It can only help. Somebody in here encouraged you to fish more and I whole heartedly concur with the one caveat that you tell us all about it because I love to fish but am physically prevented from doing it.

If you find a cure for A-Fib please let me know, I've got A-Fib nearly all the time. It was 106 when I first got up this morning. I think it was 102 when I measured it yesterday afternoon. In my case my blood pressure goes low from a medicine to control the A-Fib but then the A-Fib goes high from a medicine to raise my blood pressure which goes really low, sometimes into the 60s during dialysis. It's a balancing act for me. I wonder how harmful that kind of mild A-Fib is.
