Title: Re: Heart surgery tomorrow Post by Spartan2 on Feb 13th, 2020 at 10:37pm
After they split your sternum down the middle, I am finding that your ribcage is tender and a lot of things seem sort of "out of place." Not sure if it is a rib or my spine that is causing my painful arm, but I will say that the physical therapist made it feel a bit better today with massage. Probably just need more time for everything to grow back in place. They told me that the sternum is "wired" back together until the bone fuses again. That is why i need to be very careful about lifting, pushing with my arms, etc. It would be fairly easy to displace that tender area.
I am getting stronger, walking a lot more. They want me to walk, walk, walk. Getting tired of the loop around our house, so today I went down and made a loop in the basement. |
