Back to Work!

I decided to stop the whiny posts and wait until I came back to work to tell you how it all turned out. I am so glad to be back! I'm still weak but getting stronger every day. The Doc didn't want me to come back yet, but I convinced him that I had people that would lift stuff for me and that I promised that I would be a good boy.

I wish I knew a way to put this cool little DVD up so you could see it. The surgeon was a really great guy and he made me this 2 minute DVD of my surgery. It's a little creepy to see the inside of your own chest and know that you are looking at your heart not beating. It's kind of surreal, but very interesting. It put the whole thing in perspective and I understand a lot more about what was done. I'm pretty visual so it helped to see it.

The stitches are mostly healed, I still don't have any feeling in the area around the incision, but he tells me it will come back in time. They are a little concerned that the heart rate is still around 120 beats a minute at rest, but that is supposed to go back to normal at some point too. I'm not gonna post for a while so that I can give an accurate report on how I'm doing once everything goes back to normal....Later.
