Hello Teresa,
Rehab going well. I'm at the 7 week mark. They added in minor weight lifting exercises after 6 weeks. My sternum is still sore at the incision area so we are not lifting over 5 lbs. I'm back to work at 50% and have someone help if any lifting is required. I'm going to stick with the rehab all the way to the end. I'll be getting a membership at the senior center here in Round Rock and will continue with the exercise to keep in shape and keep the pounds off. I'm still at -10 lbs. since surgery. They tell me at rehab I need to lose 20 more.

My INR is stable at 1.6 and I only go in for testing now every 2 weeks. I don't notice any side effects from taking blood thinners.

Hope this helps.

All the best.

Bruce
