Well i went for my first walk round the close and felt like i had ran a marathon. I am exhausted now. I keep forgetting i have had major heart surgery. I was only in theatre for an hour yet in that time they repaired my heart. The trouble is i forget i have other health problems to deal with.
I want to thank you all for your lovely messages on my recovery. You are all the best.
Love me.xxxx
Well done Sylvi! Take it easy now though, you've earned it xx
Well done Sylvi, but don’t do what you usually do, and over do it! It’s lovely to hear from you this side of your heart problems.
Baby steps Sylvi, and no running yet either!! xx
No the terminology has changed we don’t have surgery, major or minor we now according to the NHS when I had my procedure on 20 April have surgical procedures. Apparently it’s less frightening but it didn’t stop my worry. Take it easy it’s taken me two months to get back to normal for me despite having a holiday to rest and recuperate. Don’t stop being active it helps reduce risks of ongoing problems but equally listen to your body saying stop. I find that hard but it’s vital to not just sit and think it’s going to be easy. It might be a good idea to record your activity as even a few steps round the block is progress compared to before your procedure. Xxx
Well done!!! But maybe to the end of the garden and back is enough for now.
Baby steps…….good on you! Xx
your doing grand sylvi little bit at time will make your recovery faster take care x
Feel better soon. Thinking of you. 🙂
Great to hear you have had a little walk. Just don’t overdo it, it must be hard to think you have had major heart surgery and in no time at all it’s over and you are back walking around. Get lots of rest though.
After I had my second son I ended up having to go back in for a D&C. Got home feeling great and decided I’d join the others for a game of Swingball! Believe me it was a very bad idea - I started bleeding again etc definitely not a good idea - so no matter how perky you feel be sensible and don’t even be tempted to do too much. 💐x
it’s good you’re recovering well that you forget you’ve had surgery but please take it easy and don’t do too much too soon Sylvi, look after yourself.
Thank you all very much for your good wishes for me on my recovery. xx
So glad to hear you are up and moving but yes, easy does it for now. xx
Nothing more to add. Everyone has said it.sylvi just know you are a star and so well loved on here. You are one of the reasons I stay on here.
Just do as you are told to aid your recovery.

Slow and steady does it, Sylvi darling. We all need to have you back in the best of possible health. Who else can take such lovely pictures of honeysuckle and peonies and be so supportive of us?
Great work Sylvi - don't overdo things but remember baby steps put you on the path to recovery
Hip hip hurray for Sylvi. Little and often sweetheart, as I'm sure you know 😘❤️
That’s great you are feeling up to going for a short walk but please make sure you don’t overdo it! I’m six weeks post spinal surgery and it’s really hard to stop yourself doing the things you normally do!! My hubby is the voice of reason and tells me off if I’m doing too much! 🤣🤣. Hope the healing process goes well and it’s lovely to see you posting on here again 😁😁 xxx
Good to hear you are feeling able to walk. Don't forget you probably won't be able to walk as fast as you used to. Take it slowly and steadily and take in the beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing the lovely flowers. Colours are stunning. x
So glad you're on the road to recovery. Small steps along the way and good luck.
A walk round the close is perfect! Well done Sylvi. Wishing you many more sunny trips out X
Sylvi, I think you are doing amazingly well considering it’s only been a few days. Big hug 🤗 xx
My hubby has just told me off for trying to pull a weed out of the garden, so i have come indoors in a huff. I am sure he is right, but it was only a stinging nettle. lol. xxx
Oh it’s difficult isn’t it Sylvi, I totally get it, I’m rubbish at resting! Xx
Take care Sylvi, sending gentle hugs xx❤️
well done Sylvi but like everyone says take it literally one step at a time. You’re a shining star and a true warrior! Take care xx
well done Sylvi, take each day at a time, you know your body & tuned in to listen, just take care but so chuffed your up & about & slowly venturing outside 🌸
You made me chuckle sylvi well done walking round the close but don't over do it my lovely. Slowly slowly eh?🤗
Don’t rush your recovery you have had a major operation just think of how long you’ve waited for it to be done and take small steps every other day, rest in the sunshine and enjoy your garden 🌼🌸🌺x
