Has anyone had this experience? I am 8 weeks post cabg and starting to feel like I may be able to get back to "living" instead of "recovering" before too long. Start cardiac rehab tomorrow. But I think I have a protruding wire and another one that is trying to come through the skin. When I read online that a protruding wire requires surgery with typically general anesthesia-- and so it will require more "recovering"
'. (I would love to get back in the swimming pool for swmming groups). This hit me hard when I read this and I believe it has thrown me into the depression that I have read attacks so many cabg patients. I would really like to hear from anyone who has had this experience. I have an appointment with the surgeon's office Friday. Best to you all-- (And, it all gets better, it really does).
