Surgery is very likely to fail in my case, so it is a waiting game.

I wish the best, open heart surgery is no joke it’s a very serious procedure and you will be in the hospital for a few days, I was in for 6-days and 5-nights

It was not particularly painful but as I said earlier the stress and anxiety was very real and I was not expecting that to happen

When I got home I slept in a recliner for three weeks because I couldn’t lay flat on my back

Cardiac rehab was the single best thing I did in recovery I would urge you to take it, it’s supervised exercise that gave a lot of confidence that my surgery was successful and was going to hold up when I stressed my heart during exercise

I wish you all the best
