What is the recovery like following septal myectomy?

I’m moving around fairly easily after my surgery last Friday morning. Although the first few days were tough, and I still need oxygen with exertion; I’m really amazed at how quickly I have made progress! Much more quickly than with joint replacements!! Each day I’m stronger, experiencing less pain, and breathing more easily. Today I used only a cane when walking in the hall and basically no support in my room. It’s easy to overdo and my energy flags early in the evening (7-8 pm,) but I’m grateful for an army of family, church family, and friends who have been and continue pray for me! God is good to me.

Im glad you are doing well!! Im six weeks out and met with Cardio Rehab yesterday. I’ll be starting that 3X’s a week either next week or week after for about 6 weeks. Other than my incision still stinging and feeling the wires, Im feeling pretty good. Keep positive and walking… its the best thing!!

It’s so great to hear you are doing so well!
I know how tough this is, and you sound like a tough cookie! Plus, you know Who is in control and His grace is with you. I wanted to give you time to adjust to post op before bombarding you with questions about how you’re doing. I’m so grateful you’re doing so well. Praise God🙏🏼
I am bringing you some virtual flowers 💐 some comfy sweat pants 👖 and soft pillows ☁️
