Almost 4 weeks Post

[ShyAnne56]

Almost 4 weeks post surgery and counting. Doing great. I was able to use by blow dryer last Thursday! Wow what a milestone! Trying to convince my Mother I'm not an invalid is another milestone I need to get past!

I do have a question about dizzyness. I read about it before going into surgery, but don't remember how long after surgery the person experienced it. I had it last night while on the computer chatting with my sister. Needless to say, I had to quickly get off the computer and go lay down. Everything seems fine today.

Once again, thank you all for your well wishes

Hey Angie,
It is great to hear how well you are doing. It has been 11 weeks today for me since my surgery and getting better everyday. About the dizziness, I experienced it the 3rd week I was home from the hospital but I only had the one spell, nothing since. Take Care and again Glad to hear you are doing well.
Dave

Keep your fires small!

I had dizziness a few weeks after surgery, and it was in my case clearly connected with overdoing it. Cardiac rehab is the best for gauging how much you should be doing when.
