@mbharris when is your surgery date? I will be back up in Rochester having sternal wires removed because of sternal pain! Please Dont let this scare you you are making the right choice! 2 days after my surgery i was so sick from the medications i asked Dr Derani if i made the right choice with getting surgery and he said yes you did!
He was right i feel so much better hills and stairs ladders are no longer an issue:)
Best of luck with healing and as much as your gonna want to push the envelope as yku start feeling better stay with the strict instructions!
I really think i would have benifitted with physical therapy after my surgery only because of how active i am! So consider physical therapy
Again best of luck

@brumasterj Glad to hear the surgery helped and hope he can help you with the sternum. Surgery date Dec 10. I watched a video yesterday with Dr. Dearani, who will be my surgeon, and he comes across like he truly knows his stuff! Hills, stairs, and now being off Camzyos for a weeks has flat surfaces behind an issue. I’m so ready to back to normal.
Question for you. How was sleeping post surgery when you got home? I’m a side sleeper and concerned that I will be struggling to get a good night sleep. Can I lay on my side? It looks like will need to elevate for a few weeks is that true.
Another question, how much walking/exercise have you been doing at home. Should I look to push myself to build up my endurance? Trying to understand what I should focus on?
Appreciate all your insight and hope things go well for you.
