I'm now post op and have been discharged from the hospital and am presently at home recovering from the procedure which includes a split cut breastbone that needs to heal.
It's a reason I haven't posted much , albeit I lurked with a peak on occasion.
I find that I'm not much interested in political debates anymore, and am now more focused on my spiritual outlook moving forward as this experience gave me considerable insight into what's actually important in this life, which involves the well being of people overall , and how suffering and pain plays a part in all of it.
Still am weak with pain management therapy and restricted from my mormal routine, loads of medication in addition to my diabetes, but am moving around and ambulatory which is normal for this point in my recovery.
Doctors say 3 months of disability with a full 6 months for a complete recovery.
