blimey, that must have been tough. Well done for getting through it. I'm at about 14 weeks post op after OHS and energy has been getting better - hang in there
I was in the same situation a couple of years ago, also live alone Recovery isn't linear so you may have good and bad days for several more months.If you aren't already a member of the Facebook group UK Aortic and Heart Defects Pre and Post surgery then please consider joining. Lots of support from others in the same situation.
