Timothy Williams That is great to hear. My surgery was March 11 nearly same day as yours. I just posted about anxious to try more golf. I've done small swings. I generally feel great and have returned to nearly all activities being sensitive to lifting restriction. Did you have sternotomy? If so, any "pain" swinging?

It has been a whirlwind couple weeks, checked into Lenox Hill Hospital on March 9, had my surgery on March 10. Aortic Valve replacement and right coronary bypass. All went well, I cannot say enough about the amazing surgeon’s and compassionate icu recovery team at Lenox Hill. I came home on Wednesday March 16. Still a little bit of recovery road ahead of me, but every day is definitely a gift, every day at little easier and every day is an Awesome day!

Congratulations Joseph, welcome to recovery and may you continue to have a smooth recovery. God bless ... Read more
