Sternotomies are not fun at all. Start practicing how to stand up/get out of bed without using your arms now, makes it a hell of a lot easier once the surgery is done.Man, if people wanna rant about waiting for stuff, I’m waiting for the call from the PA so I can go in, get my breastbone cracked open and have a thymic tumour removed... preferably sooner rather than later so the holidays can absorb most of the recovery from the sternotomy allowing me to earn a living for my family again when the school year starts. Merry Christmas.
So yeah, I’d love the luxury of being anxious about waiting for a plastic card and a lanyard instead.
