This book has helped over 47,000 patients and caregivers from diagnosis to recovery.
All of my pre-op symptoms are gone and my scar continues to heal up nicely. I'm still working on my drain tube scar (I call it my extra bellybutton BBOTN - Belly button of the north). I do feel some pulling and stretching and some.pain through my upper chest & rib area when I get into certain positions or try to move in a certain way, but that's pretty much all the bad stuff. I do get some ocular migraines still, but they're getting less frequent.
After cardiac rehab, I stopped exercising for a bit, life & work got busy, but hoping to ramp it up a bit now that the weather is starting to break.
Hope all you heart warriors are doing well & if you're just going through it, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
I still have some spasms here and there 2 years after OHS. I suspect it will never go away but at least in my case it's not a big deal as it's somewhat minor and goes away after a few hours or max a day or so.
Richard, you are cracking me up today.
