Aortal Valve Replacement - Day 16

Started meds for palpitation last night. This morning, my heartrate has decreased from an average of 110 bpm to around 90 bpm. I definitely feel less fatigued now, although I can still feel my heart thumping whenever i lie down or lean on a chair. Didn't get much sleep last night. Told the nurse it wasn't d new noisy snoring neighbor, or the periodic beeping of d equipment of the one that just finished surgery, but i'm not so sure. (^ヘ^)v Still can't get into a good sleeping posture, actually. Still have to lie down face up. Chest wound doesn't hurt much anymore, but the peripheral muscles still hurt a great deal when stress is applied. Sneezing is d worst - feels like a sledgehammer to my chest muscles. Last of d stitches (i hope) should be removed today.
