It will, we are stronger then we think. But pain is pain, and it takes time to heal.

When I fell so hard, I did some very real damage to the muscle and tendons in the upper left part of my chest which is what causing pain. We are slowly working on it and it seems to be getting better, but still a long road ahead. I am back to wearing the binder when doing housework and at night, which seems to be helping alot. Not putting any stress on the chest muscles when I am sleeping. COPD is a pain but I am monitoring my oxygen and doing simple exercise such as walking which I find the most relaxing especially outside. Not too brisk, slow and leisurely like a 2 year, stop and smell the flowers. I know I need patience and good luck CindyC, treating both the COPD and hopefully the pain will go away.

Hi Van, I to had a triple bypass almost 2 years ago, and still get the occasional twinge. When I do anything strenuous I do experience some pain around the scar line later the same day.
Over time I've learned what pain to expect and when.
Hope all is ok with you, I'm a great believer in exercise, and found the rehabilitation program I was on to be excellent.

I had a triple heart bypass a year and a half ago. I came home 12 days later they said I needed to go to a nursing home I wad going home All the places they wanted to send me to l had worked as a charge nurse so I knew what kind of care I would get there
My sister helped me since we live together and I had a visiting nurse and bath aide 3 times a week. There are some Nursing agencies that only take what Medicare pays and you never see or get a bill talk to the hospital social worker and see if she knows any.i have used this one several times Stay strong and remember your not alone we are all in this together.

Hope your doing better, I know sometimes we just have to deal with so much.
