Well, everything is as good as can be expected!

The doctor said I should keep my limits til about June 1st. I have the tiny brackets on my chest bone that have their own fragility issues, hence the additional healing and limitations time.
The good news is unless I have a major setback, I won't have to go back to St. Louis.
They also approved me doing a Functional Ability Assessment as long as the lift limit stays under 20lbs.
That should help accelerate my disability case. Fingers crossed.
There won't be any cardiac rehab until Summer as my town needs to set it up.

8. Good

At this point you just need to be moving around and not sitting for too long a time. Even brief standups to stretch and move around are enough. Blood vessels after big work need lots of time to heal.

20. I'll keep hard at it

21. Thank you Dorothy, we got 2 Tornado warnings in 35 minutes but got missed twice.

Praying they were harmless farm tillers.

Was going to write a second post wishing you well and realized that's silly.

How is everything? I know you were in the Bullseye this time for sure.
Please let us know you're ok.
Love ya,
DUERS

17. Good news! May your healing continue at a good pace!

Sounds like you will follow directions.

Nothing as challenging as your surgery: but in my case was the reverse; underdid my exercises on my mending ripped rotator cuff, and refroze my shoulder for an extra 3 wks+.

Learned my lesson: not too little, and not too much!

Continued GOOD Luck!

[JMCKUSICK]

22. Thank you for a timely reminder electric_blue68

Sorry about the suffering with the shoulder. That had to suck.
