Janie, in 19 yrs, 25 days we'll be too old to remember what it was, I guess. But for today, I think it's called 'it'.
We saw some star fish the other day at the beach - is THAT what was goin on. So funny.

After reading this ongoing thread, I realized this morning that as a member of the Waiting Room, I need to stop reading the posts and start an exercise, practice regime that will eliminate this unbeknownst complication of OHS.

Ummm, I have noticed that NC-Cutie hasn't replied for several days?????? Maybe we did help her?
The first thing I asked the surgeon was, "when can I have sex?" He said "all you have to do is get creative and not put weight on your sternum." Of course I had to wait for a week because my mom was at my house and I was sleeping in the same bed with her...don't think Kev would enjoy THAT! My husband thinks about sex 24-7. He says he can't help it, it's a "guy thing"

"get creative"? I thought you had to climb 2 flights of stairs first.
Ix-nay on the airs-stay.
That was a tongue-in-cheek standard, supposedly keyed to MI (heart attack) patients. It was concocted for a recent movie starring Jack Nicholson. I believe it was called, "Something Has to Give."
I was released on day three, and they said, "You may resume sexual intercourse." Some folks receive the addenedum, "with a known sexual partner," as there may be undue excitement with a new partner, especially if bypasses and other heart issues are involved.
Basically, the condition of the sternum, and possible irritation of early pericarditis are the overriding concerns for those with few side issues. Having lingering heart problems besides the valve replacement can indicate more caution.
Generally, "married sex" is considered benign, as long as it doesn't involve trapeze artistry or more than eight pounds of leather and chains.

No stairs? Well, heck but I wanted to cover all the bases so I climbed. Besides, he lives on the second floor and I had to get there, didn't I?
Undue excitement - bypass surgery? That's me. It's a wonder I am here to tell the story (sort of tell it, at least).

Hey, Cutie. You and I are about the same number of weeks post-op.
Ok, I just have to add my two cents. Dr. McGiffin said I could have sex as soon as I went home...they even gave me a list of instructions that said to lie on your back or side...LOL! As if we newlyweds need any instruction!
Go for it! You'll be glad you did. I didn't wait. I needed the intimacy. Had sex the 2nd night home (this may be too much information)..exactly 8 days after my aortic valve homograft

TMI? I don't think so.
We have had much fun with this thread, but scattered amongst the fun are great posts with information that I am sure many have questions about. This is a first in VR about sex. We have never broached the subject with any seriousness and depth but looking back at all the responses, it is certainly on the minds of so many members; therefore it should be discussed and information swapped as long as we keep it more or less clean. After all, it is part of our over-all health. We have been both tactful and trashy in this thread (include me in the trashy part-giggle) but all in all, I think that everyone has gained knowledge we couldn't get elsewhere. Right?

I agree that this has been a kind of fun thing. It is a part of life and should be discussed in a "clean" way. The surgery itself is so traumatic that this is something that should take your mind off of it for a while.

Heeheeheeehee.....
My wife "discovered" this thread this afternoon while she was checking her email....
"Why don't you ever tell me about any of this stuff?" she asks...
I didn't know I was supposed to keep her THAT informed.
Anyways, she asked when it was that we first started ummm... well.... you know...
And we decided it was about the time I started rehab which would have been almost a month after I got home, 3 months post-op.
I gotta say though, the honeymoon we had a few month after that was a VERY cool experience on all kinds of levels.
I'm still amazed that I had no trouble at all pushing her in her chair (she has CP and uses a walker most times, but we had her wheelchair for sightseeing) up and down steep hills a few times a day while we were in Niagara Falls, Ont...
You don't need to know about the "other stuff..."
