So I understand that I'm supposed to be planning for recovery from surgery while waiting for it to happen. So after surgery in Vancouver, back to Whitehorse. It is supposed to be 9-12 weeks for the initial stages and then 6 months in for a full recovery. People have told me that some can still feel the wires that rebind the chest together just under the skin...I'll just have to wait and see if I'll be able to do that. :-)
The nurse educator shared a story where someone (I'm willing to bet a Yukoner) had to return for surgery after chopping wood a scant 10 days out from surgery....don't worry, no worries on that score for me. I'll be taking it easy.
