Hi Brian,
Thanks so much. I took the 3 weeks the cath was in off from everything that I was doing. I was pretty much house-bound. It went by a lot quicker than I expected.
From what I have been noticing with my doctor, the most important time is the beginning. Rest and let yourself heal so there are no complications that need to be taken care of later. I credit my success to his conservative and cautious approach to how he performed this surgery.
Hope that help you.
All the best,
c
