Followup with the surgeon today

[WilliamJE]

It went well. I was told only to followup with the cardiologist from this point. Tomorrow marks 4 weeks since my AVR.

No more binder, I can return to work light duties next week. So no more watching Sportscenter, Law & Order, or Sabrina the Teenage Witch continuously.

Glad To Hear

Good to know you are getting there slowing. Just take your time though. I went back to work after AVR at 8 weeks and it seemed too soon. Wasn't able to work part-time so I was really pooped for the first couple of weeks.

ah the all clear from the surgeon, another step forward in recovery, congrats!

Should have made myself clear

1- My job consists entirely of writing on current events. National and Florida, South Florida in particular. It could be a post about the Presidential campaign or the latest Miami Dolphin news.

and

2- I can do this job from home. On light duties, I can set my times and rest when tired. My boss is telling me not to push myself too hard. I won't, I'm writing some on the internet now and doing ok. May as well get paid for the work.

Glad to hear you are doing so well. Keep it up!

Back to work, eh Bill? W O R K has always been a four letter word for me but I'm glad to read that your recovery is progressing so well.

That's great you can work from home. I went to work after 8 weeks and I would come home and have to take a 1-2 hour nap and go to bed at 9p. To many meds for me too. Hope you have continued progress.

Congrats on the all clear! I got mine from my surgeon today, 5 weeks out from my TVR and PM implant. I can go back to work as well, I fix computers so not a lot of heavy lifting anyhow and I have been working from home since the first 3 weeks post op. Doing good only issue I have is getting used to the pacemaker.

good stuff! It is nice to get back to work. I was actually working from home, in PJS and housecoat, and between naps, the day after I was released from hospital - but then, I have never been normal
