@bradycardia A few more comments: based on another chat group, I know some people prefer to sleep in their bed, but I think you should rent a recliner just in case. You can always return it. Most people are more comfortable sleeping in a semi sitting up position, which is why I found a recliner preferable to the bed with pillows (you know that commercial for a medical alert button "Help me, I've fallen, and I can't get up"? Well, once in bed, I experienced "help me, I'm lying down on my bed, and I can't get up." (I eventually managed to get up without depending on my arms.) Also, my experience was, and I think this is very common, that after open heart surgery, patients' sleep patterns are off (we nap a lot for one thing), but also, we tend to be awake part of the time during the night, which I did considered normal, not insomnia, and it doesn't last forever. Just expect that to be the case. BTW, the chat group I found helpful was "Life after CABG heart bypass support group" on Facebook. Yes, some people have scary stories, but others have encouraging stories, and it helped me know what supplies to get ahead of time and other advice. My take is that younger people (and it's shocking how young some CABG patients are) bounce back more quickly, but on the other hand, they developed serious heart disease decades before I did, which isn't great for them. You sound very prepared, and you have a lot of lead time to get prepared. Best wishes!
