Life after open heart surgery has really gotten back to normal. I only have a few times a week that I am reminded of even having surgery. I still will get tenderness at my incision, a mild pain if I turn a certain way and it will get stiff if I sleep in the wrong positon too long.
I go to Cardiac Rehab three times a week. I find I can do more and it is a good feeling. I still am not a exercise lover....but I can tell it is helping. After exercising last week, my heart monitor (you have one placed on you the entire time you are there) showed 4 PVC's in a row. This apparently is a problem. I do remember not feeling that great after exercising but I was done and ready to go and did not mention it to anyone. Well, it seems they need and want to know everything, so I promised to mention any weird feelings in the future. I know it have happened since then. I get this strange "aware" feeling and I have strong heartbeats out of the blue. I think they may be PVC's. My cardiologist was called and now I have to go in and see her in the next few weeks just to do a redo EKG with her. This is not something I am to concerned about.
Life is busy with kid related things....football games, homecoming dances and all county choir practices.
We are going on a trip to Las Vegas very soon and I am very excited about that. Life is back to normal :)
