Paul and William,
I’m 21 weeks post-CABGx5 plus 13 days intubated and sedated with aspiration pneumonia and c diff infection and, yes, it’s totally normal to feel tired after 7 weeks and 14 weeks post-surgery. It does gradually get better but the process is slow. It makes sense, too, when you think about what your body has gone through only a very short time ago.
I’m turning 68 this month, am back to work and the gym (a normal gym, not the rehab gym) but my strength still is not even close to what it was pre-surgery. I’m getting stronger, though, every day. I’ll get there and so will you. Give it time.
Ira
