YES!! it takes a long time for many reasons. the hate has to leave first before you can get on with it..
the pain the why meeees you seem to come out of this opperation a different person and look at things in a different way.. some are angry . some are forgiving.. either way it is a long haul and it takes time.. just love yourself and your family. and thank god you have had a second chance in life. i would say maybe a year of all pain and everything else .. i am only going on my dads opp.. and he is still finding it hard .. ♥♥ love yourself..

If there are no other complications, recovery time is about 3-4 weeks. The sooner you get moving the better. Even if it hurts. Start walking as soon as possible. Most patients have a harder time recovering from the vein removal in their legs than the actual heart surgery.

During your surgery they had to actually cut your chest(breast) bone in order to gain access to your heart. Alot of your pain that you're feeling is from that bone separation. It is very normal to be in some pain afterwords (even a few weeks) When my daughter had her open heart (she was 1) I found that if I gently massaged her incision area her pain would decrease, Good luck if all else fails contact your cardiologist.

After my surgery and after the main recovery I still had pain in my legs from the doctors removing arteries. I still have moderate pain in my legs and numbness after five years. Good luck
