What is the recovery like following septal myectomy?

Thank-you for your prayers, Debra, and please continue! My surgery went well yesterday morning, but the hours since have been rough as expected. Nonetheless, I’m doing as well as I can. Blood pressure has been an issue so I haven’t been able to sit up in a chair yet, but they’re addressing that issue so hopefully later this morning.

I'm so happy to hear from you! Each day will get a little better. Every day a tube comes out, a machine gets turned off, and before you know it you're free. I remember the last thing I got taken off was so wonderful...to not have to drag around all these contraptions.
The nurses are like angels, and make things as good as they can...except they make you walk when you don't want to! I will pray you get to sit in the chair today. Baby steps, but progress.
Rest. Sleep. God is with you.
