that must be what this is, The initial drag. Thanks for making me feel like Im not alone/normal.From first hand experience watching my hubby and my father in law go through different heart procedures I can say that it does get better. The initial drag after surgery is the worst part. I know it sounds like an eternity right now but resting for about a week without placing any expectations on yourself is a healthy starting point. If you feel like doing short walks sooner than by all means do it but you'll start feeling more equipped to push yourself after a few days and even more after you make it passed the one week hurdle.
