@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?

Thank you Ginger for inviting me here into this conversation as you know I did have a triple bypass and I can only tell you that yessi Patchwork that before I went in it was it's a hard decision to make but I was in so much pain I knew that it was the only thing that could relieve my pain so I went in with a good attitude and that is very important after it was over the pain was gone I can breathe better I did my own exercises at home / the doctor had which he told me I did not have to go to rehab but generally they send you to a rehab afterwards but mainly I did the exercises that according to him at home and I had no more pain wish I was out of so I was very happy that I had it done and you will be too once you can win just go in with a good attitude that and make plans for when you come back out of it okay thank you bye bye
