It's 3 weeks since my open-heart surgery, have been home for 2. The chest scar is healing nicely and most of the deep tenderness is gone, sneezes don't bother anymore. Having a complication with an elevated heart rate, mine is normally about 60 resting, it got up to a steady 110 resting. Doctor put me on a med to reduce and in 5 days it's dropped to 90 to 95, so progress. Apparently when the heart itself is cut into as they had to do to fix my bad valve, it get's electrically out of normal synch.
Starting to do more light chores and hit the stairs 4 or 5 times a day. A week until I can drive. Appetite is back and I am sleeping well. Going to wait another 3 weeks until starting up the Model B's, as the lifting and carrying out to do cleanout is a bit much. My long term target is Oct Arkansas crystal digging.
Anyway, things are looking much better now as opposed to the first couple days in the hospital!!
Got access to a couple collecting areas locally here that I hope to be able to do some walk-about searching/collecting by July.

I'm so glad you're recovering nicely, Henry! It takes a while, but it sounds like you're doing it the right way - slowly but surely.
