I’m now into week 6 past operation and getting back to normal, just some slight pain in chest where they opened me up but very slight.

It’s taken me till now to get back into a normal sleep pattern but thankfully this seems to have sorted itself,

The care from the hospital was absolutely fantastic,, for anyone worried about the procedure I would say it’s more discomfort than anything else, I’m now looking forward to gradually getting back to my hobby of hillwalking but gradually!

Here’s to life !

thanks for the positive feed back. I totally agree with your compliments to cardiology.

I hope you get that out of this world feeling when your recovery is near complete. I took 13 weeks but two weeks of that was gout flares, so hopefully you only have a month or so, then your life is back again.

Best wishes
