you are the boss. seriously. after the surgery, you are on the healing journey, ... ask for pain medicine anytime you want it. when i was in icu, they had a bed that raised completely up, ... so that you don't have to take your leg over the side of the bed and you don't have to use your arms/chest muscles. if they have such as this, tell them to use it, always. that's what things like that are for. you are the boss! when you are sore and they want to move you around, that's good for you, but you know what you can do. if you can't, don't let them make you. i had more pain from my leg than my chest. i have about a 15 inch scar. i'm not going to lie, that hurt. but the chest part is just a slow healing, don't rush it. the tubes, pulling the chest tube, ... i had in the middle of my chest, i've had problems with. but all in all, the energy that the surgery has given me is priceless. i had never had any surgery before the triple bypass, so i was in for a rude awakening lol. but i'm good to go now. and you will be too. they did my heart cath in my wrist. that was a breeze. god bless you. you are the boss!
