First checkup today

Well it's 13/days since my crtd implant and its also my first checkup since the surgery.It seems like I am recuperating from my cabgx3 though not as bad. I mean I wasn't laid out like after bypass, but feel weak. My shoulder is painful but doc doesn't want me using arm sling, so HE threw it away.( he took advantage of me the day after the procedure,hee hee! lol). I do feel tired all the time but maybe it's my body telling me that I just have to adjust to the device and enjoy the benefits it will give me for the years to come.!

A little over 2 weeks for me

Same here, a little over two weeks and I'm still pretty tired. Been having a nap almost every afternoon. Likewise I've had a 3 xcabg and though not as severe I still feel pretty banged up at the moment. But I did spend 9 days back in hospital with a post op infection, so maybe it's my body telling me to take it easy.

Good luck with the recovery peeps, fingers crossed it gets better...

I'm 43 and have had my pacemaker four weeks today. I'm looking forward to living another 50 years and this marvelous device inside me will help me do that.
