It is great you made it home that was the hardest for me also, but once i got home i felt alot better, like everyone else is saying here take it easy and do what your doctor wants you to do, if your doc gave you upper body exercising to do by all means do them, it does keep the soreness down or should i say the stiffness Take Care

Joe,
Good to hear your doing well. My chest still feels funny once in awhile, depending on how I lay on it. Taste buds were out of wack for about 3 months but they slowly came back. Do your exercises and listen to your Dr. Each day will get better...

Re:
Hi JOE,
Glad to see that you are making progress. It's been 4 weeks since my myectomy at CCF and I'm getting better each day.
As Tigger says, Listen to your Dr and do exercises, but don't overdo it and listen to your body also. Some days when I overdo it, my body reminds me that it's still healing.
Take care,
Edwin
