I'm with you. I think everyone understands that walking is a huge benefit. But there is that time between getting out of the hospital and cardiac rehab where I am unsure what I can do. Walking and keeping my HR under 100 ... easy. I'm going over 6 miles a day. But I would LOVE to do some stretches. I was given no instructions or go aheads. If anyone has any good stretches for the back, it would be really appreciated. I think it is just frustrating for all of us ... at least me. We all recover so differently. And I would love nothing better then to have a sheet of paper saying, "you are at week 5 and this is what you should be doing". Kind of like those "What to expect when you're expecting" books.
This type of information is what I'm trying to put together in a book; not just for first-time patients, but for those who may be on their second or third surgery, and may have forgotten what it is all about.
