@cepatchwork1955 Welcome to Mayo Connect. It must be scary, and exciting to have helpful surgery just around the corner, isn't it? I haven't had heart surgery, but as you have read, following the instructions from your doctors will go a long way to have an uneventful recovery. Perhaps @lioness or @harriethodgson1 can answer your questions about normal behavior?
