Heart bypass – a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) x5

Nine weeks, tomorrow, since my surgery. I had the first check up at the hospital today. Good progress being made and more rigorous testing booked for September.

The leg wound should have healed by now and I have this vacuum creating gizmo on my leg to speed the process.

Time really heals and I’ve noticed significant improvements. I can sleep comfortably on both left, and right sides. Coughing, and sneezing is not excruciatingly painful. I can breathe deeply and clench stomach muscles. All of which hurt earlier in my recuperation.

I’m walking in Porto, and Porto has incredibly steep hills. In the last week I’ve averaged 7.3km a day.
