So scary and stressful…

Can you share with me what is it like in icu? Were you awake.? Is it typical to be in icu 4-5 days after heart surgery? Im sure it depends on everyone’s situation.. complications etc…
With my lung situation I’m planning on spending at least a week in there. I’m praying that is not the case but ya never know. Thank you. I appreciate your help and support and your time.
