Best of luck, three things make it easier:
Use the pain medicine offered
Use the incentive spirometer( deep breathing toy) ALL OF THE DAMN TIME
Get the hell out of bed, despite discomfort
If you need anything you or Maggie are welcome to contact me. Will pm you my cell phone

Teddy I am praying for you. I used to do cardiac rehab so a couple pieces of advice for you:1) they are going to give you a small clutch pillow to hold while you cough, sneeze etc. KEEP IT CLOSE. Sneezing after bipasss without the clutch is fairly painful from what my patients used to tell me. 2) if they are taking the graph from your leg, make.sure you stay on top of keeping it clean and wearing your pressure sock. More often than not you will have problem with that site than your sternum.
