Hey there, I am 30 days into my recovery and from day one, I saw light falling down like snow flakes. I did not want to tell anyone because I thought they would cut me off of pain meds. It's every other day now.

Hey there! I had my surgery on June 23 and I am 38 yrs. I felt good in the hospital, but when I was at home I noticed alot of stuff I could not do yet. I cried everyday, because I never really thought about how long recovery was going to be. To get into my husbands truck, he had to push my a...

Beautiful profile pic! congrats on your one year!!!

Thanks, normofthenorth... My skin does feel stretched out and do not like to think about how my surgeon cut(saw) through my sternum! I also wished i never saw that video about my surgery. Thats just me and doing my best to heal!

Thanks, last night i could feel it and now this morning not so much. I wonder if i was doing to much to make it swell and sore? As i am have been doing daycare already, but have not lifted anything more than i suppose too! I like to call it"speed humps" lol.

My "speed bump" is not red, its the same colour as my skin. Its just alittle swollen and it feels bruised. Thank-you as i would never have been able to sleep. I will check again in the morning.

Yep! June 23 how can i forget! Just alittle stressed from the "speed bump". Thought maybe i did something to cause the swelling today.

Had my surgery July 23rd and right above the top of my incision on my chest is a sore bump. It feels like its fluid. Has anyone had this? And is this normal?

welcome back! happy recovery! you will be back to normal before you know it!

Hey there! Glad to hear from you Kailin! Day 19 for me and sleeping at night is much better than the first couple of weeks! Mine was my back so i bought a massager and it helped alot. Take it easy and i believe that you will feel better soon!

Hi there! Glad to hear the surgery went well. So true about that truck! lol I had my surgery the day after so we are both recovering! Wishing you a quick recovery.

Hi there! Nothing made me comfy enough to sleep through the night. I would start the night in my bed then in the middle of the night, move to the recliner. I remember being stuck there acouple of times and not being able to get out??? lol Its been 15 days from my surgery and can finally sleep...

Hey Matt! i remember the same thoughts u have! i had my surgery acouple of weeks ago. And the best $50 spent was on a massager for my back! Wish you the best and will be thinking of you!

Hey there! I am 2 weeks recovering from a tissue valve replacement. I was told because i am 38 yrs it would only last 10 yrs. Dr. had mentioned because of the calcuim build up in younger patients.

Hi there! I remember the day before my surgery, they gave me a little pill to help me sleep. The next day was my surgery and was kinda excited??? Its 2 weeks today and the only thing that i battle everyday is sleeping through the night! See you on the other side!

Not allowed to eat n e thing for 2 days, only ice cubes and ginger- ale. Don"t think i could ever drink ginger-ale again! They told me when they take out the pace maker it will not hurt only feel weird! why do we trust people that have never been attached to one! Will never forget the pace maker!

Rachel! I am also glad to hear from u as well! 9 days for us and our recovery YAY! Take care!!!
