No power lifting. No planking. Keep your blood pressure low. Cut out sugar altogether and reduce salt. Take your BP Meds as directed. Walks. No running. Stay within 30 minutes of a cardiac ICU. If you feel chest pain (tearing pain) call 911. Post-surgery I golf, walk, play with dogs, litigate in federal court. Thankful for every single day. No running or weightlifting for me. Use a cart and take it easy. Learn to relax. You’re going to be fine. I had 42 minutes between the start of my dissection and being cracked open. I never had time to fret. Don’t fret. You know you have an issue and you’re taking care of yourself. Peace.
