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!

6 month check in

183 days since my surgery (6 months)

Well it has been 6 months since I had my surgery. I wondered back then what I would be like 6 months later. I would say I am doing pretty darn well!

Virtual rehab is going great -- and I am actually doing yoga and able to get up and down off the floor pretty easily. Kinda easily. Knee still a little iffy, but that is not heart related.

I'm proud of myself that I am still going strong, but I feel like I need to do even better. Right now I am trying to eat 20 different fruits and vegetables a week.  It is harder than you think.

So far this week: blueberries, cucumbers, carrots, clementines, onion, edamame. 

14 more to go.
