what to expect post heart surgery

[suz]

Thought I would share this great list off the Thorasic Surgeon site,

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER YOUR HEART SURGERY
This guide is presented as a service by the Society of Thoracic Surgeons to help answer some questions that patients and their families often ask after their heart surgery or, sometimes, before their surgery so that they better know what to expect in their recovery. Remember: If your doctor's instructions differ in any way from those listed here, always follow your own doctor's specific instructions.

armed with google and an aptitude to word searches, I am really good at finding resources on the internet. Just wanted to share some of the info I came across here. I am so grateful for all the wonderful input I got on this site and, though I posted this info on various threads, I thought these were worthy of posting in the ref section here.

hope these threads help many here http://sheknows.com/graphics/emoticons/cheerleader2.gif
