DeWayne Adamson Really enjoyed talking to you Karen! Rebecca, it's about 45 min of cardio split between the treadmill, bike and rowing followed by 15 min stretch and cool down. Energy is no longer a problem.

17 week update. I now have pretty much fully recovered. Working on adding some weight via the gym. Pic is from last weekend during a blizzard at 8,000 ft elevation. I was at that elevation prior to surgery and needed oxygen. ps, the film I invested in won audience pick, best film! "The Fall" hopefully released within the next year. I also want to thank everyone for all your support thoughout the recovery. Thanks to Adam for making it all possible!
Valerie Allen So happy for you, DeWayne! Close to fully recovered at week 17? I’m up in April.

DeWayne Adamson Thanks everyone! I have seen most people are 80% at 12 weeks. I was too. Daniel, ck out the Edward's Konnect device. Valve is already sewed in. Less chance for bad fit and other issues. Less pump time too.
DeWayne Adamson This is Deb Michalowski. Her surgery was about 10 weeks before mine. She graduates PT on Monday!
