Hello Heart Warriors:
Six months today! Doing well. Many of us go through the side effects of surgery. Those include side effects from the actual surgery, medication, life style adjustments, emotional adjustments etc. I have had some of those too.

Great post Sandy. You are looking good and congratulations on your success. And I'm with you on the chocolate. I have a recipe called too much chocolate cake. It's the bomb! ๐

Good to hear from you Sandy! So glad you are stronger and doing well. It takes a year or more to fully recover. So, look out for more progress. My resting heart rate is still getting better (lower) at. 15 months out. Godspeedรขยยครฏยธย

Thank you all. As a chocolate lover I love almost all milk chocolates even though dark is suppose to be good for you. Southern African chocolates like Aero and Tex bars are my favorite sold at international trade stores. Lindt will suffice too. But heart warriors stay healthy please. โค๏ธ... Read more.

Today was my one month visit with my surgeon. Also, I got another CT scan at the Heart Hospital this morning. Everything checked out as the surgeon expected. Thank God! No fluid in lungs, no swelling, the wound was healing well, first time I saw the work the surgeon did.... Read more.

Fantastic!
Congratulations Sandy! You've made such a good recovery. I'm a week behind you with 4wk check up on the 7th. I found first 2wks post op rough (primarily related to all of the meds-hypotensive all the time). All much improved since eliminating most of them
Hi Mary - Hang in there. I stopped taking the meds too - tolerated the pain for most part and still do. Hoping for a clean bill of health for you too. Drove for the first time today but it was not pleasant.
Great!!! โค๏ธ๐๐
