Welcome, Meredith!
I think it’s important to stay active if you can. But be careful not to over do it. Listen to you body and rest whenever you feel the need. I experienced fatigue, palpitations, shortness of breath prior to my valve replacement this past February. I rested when I needed to, which was often. Like Valerie Altman, I slept a lot! It seemed I always needed a nap, even when I slept late. That seemed to miraculously disappear about a month after my surgery after I continued to heal.

Resting is a wonderful thing. I did a lot of that before my surgery 5 years ago. To feel more productive I got back into knitting and I read a lot. I wanted to read something that would feel like a major accomplishment so I trudged through Moby Dick. Both the knitting and reading took my mind off the agony of waiting for my surgery date. Good wishes to you!
