I had an elective CABG surgery right before Christmas 2023. This is my blog about my experience, to help others facing it themselves. It was not as bad as I had feared, and I learned a whole lot along the way!

Day 31

Well today I talked to the cardiac rehab people and there is a 2 month waiting list to get into the program. I told them i am supposed to be starting it in 2-3 weeks. I have an appointment for late March. 

I can opt for virtual cardiac rehab, but I really want to do this right. It has been one month and one day since surgery. 

I now weigh 25 pounds less than when I had surgery. I feel stronger but still want to get more fit and want stronger muscle strength. So I really want to get to the cardiac rehab program to get cleared for more exercise!
