Aortal Valve Replacement - Day 17

Heartrate still around 80-110 bpm. Looks like that will continue indefinitely for now... A complication of d surgery. Doctor said will discuss possible follow-ups on monday. Surgeon said i can be discharged on tuesday depending on d results of d last checkups on monday. Yesterday, I started going up and down 5 flights of stairs in addition to d 400 meters. Stairs are barely doable. Out of breath immediately. Cycling at 25 watts for 30 mins only. Rehabilitation guy said it will take probably a couple of months to get back to normal. Also met with dietician today. 6g of salt per day only, and restrictions on leafy vegetables due to the warfirin. ┐('〜`;)┌ Mom started cooking and bringing some tasty food since yesterday. o(^o^)o D hospital food had been quite unpredictable - sometimes delicious, sometimes unforgettably forgettable.
