Interesting that you say emotional. I think it's a common occurrence... I don't know what it is or how but my surgery unlocked my emotional side for sure, it's faded slightly but I still get emotional a lot easier than I used to. Especially when I think back to what I've been through. Glad to hear you're doing well

My recovery is changing constantly.
I was diagnosed with R.A. about 9 months ago and after some extensive testing, I was prescribed Methotrexate once a week. I believed it to be a miracle drug, as the painfull R.A. breakouts completely stopped.
Unfortunatelly, my coronary specialist had me discontinue Methotrexate for the period around my surgery.
Now I have really painfull breakouts on right hip, shoulder, ankle and wrist.
I feel very blessed that my heart repair is going to make such a positve change, yet my biggest worries and pains today are just joint related. I know we can get back on top of the R.A.
Anyone else going thru any Post Op experiences or have any questions I might be able to answer? Lee.
