I went in for a heart cathetiaztion on November 29. I ended up going to cardiac ICU for 8 days and having a heart bypass. I then spent 3 weeks in rehab. Today, I came home tethered to Oxygen. Not sure how long this is going to last. I was wondering if other have had a satisfying camping life after having a bypass. We had a lot of trouble with the surgery and that is why I was in ICU for so long. I am hopping my lungs get better and I can ditch the O2. I did learn why the call it ICU. It is because of those gowns that have no backs. I see you.

Well my dad had a valve replaced in his heart last august. It took him 3-4 months to get to the point where he could get out and around pretty good. He is now doing really good and looking forward to getting some camping in this summer. He is back at work full time and the best thing you could do is exercise. He started out walking to the mailbox and back and gradually worked up to 4 or 5 blocks.
Good luck to you and happy camping! -------------------- The Bakers
