Hi all,
Got a couple inquires as to how I'm doing so thought i'd post an update.
I am recovering slowly (as the docs said I would) I started cardio Rehab a week ago 3x aweek (mon,wed,fri) and it is an hour of light exercise that wipes me out the next day. It feels good to be doing it and I see tiny improvements each time.
The sternum is sore but not as bad as my back from the lung surgery...that entire area from the incision up to my shoulder is non stop pain. The doc said it should be better in a year...lol.
Still on a bunch of meds...the Lasix 2x a day makes my BP dangerously low...the Cardio Rehab guys made me call to heart doc to do something so he took me off the Lasix for a few days...which makes the fluid build up not good. gained 4lbs of fluid in 2 day and it is becoming difficult breathing. I had my 02 setting at 1 litre which is nice and low. Today I had to turn it up to 2 litres because my 02 was dropping into the low 80s...should be about 95. So the balancing act of recovery continues and is at times depressing...but I am recovering.
I hope all of you are doing well and making some good stuff. I have made it down to my office a few times and penciling out some new designs...about all I can do right now.
