Well, still here, healing slowly. So, I'll go into a little detail of how healing from heart surgery goes. First, you heart. When you breath, couch, sneeze, move, etc. One of the sorest parts was my ribcage under my armpits. I would suppose it was from having been spread out for heart cavity access. You'd think that with a heart the size of mine (at least what I've been told) it would have not needed as much room. Guess I had a bigger heart after all. Past the soreness it just takes time to get energy back. I start cardio rehab next week at the hospital in town. Probably going to be a little tired for a few days.
Along with the physical healing, there is of course some mental stuff going on. Having watched my dad and others go through this, I expected this. However, I don't really think I have been affected that bad. Sure, I'm a little ticked that I "appear" to be a healthy person and many of those who do not appear that way don't have trouble. I spoke to a friend a while back that is a little larger than me and all his numbers look good...except his weight. Guess I will never understand any of this. But, mentally, I think I'm doing pretty good.
Lastly I want to mention why I'm still around. Being a Christian I truly believe that when you are done here on Earth, you go home to be with the Lord. Obviously I have more to do here...I just wish I was let in on what it is.
