[QUOTE="wldcat, post: 2908426, member: 124994"] Two weeks post surgery yesterday, been a roller coaster!!! So there’s no confusion yes it was open heart surgery with two bypasses on left anterior descending artery a cardiac maze and an atriclip. I’ve been very surprised with how easy recovery has been (probably because I’m so young) until yesterday!!!!! Wow did it hurt yesterday, possibly slept wrong or moved wrong yesterday morning???? Had to take pain pills to sleep last night, but now I feel great again today…🤷♂️ definitely have to take this one day at a time!!! I want to thank this community again for all the great advice and stories about personal experiences, it really does help the mental aspect of this healing process as well!! I have an appointment with the surgeon in October and we will discuss hunting during that appointment. A good point was brought up about altitude that is also going to be a problem, I do live at sea level and my lungs are probably taking this recovery the hardest. I have got to where I can walk a mile uphill which is good but I don’t have enough air to talk while I’m walking….. depending on how my lungs heal I might be very limited on what I can do when I get up in elevation. I have put more thought into firing a rifle and I truly believe if I bring my 6.5 ss I could shoot it all day long. It weighs about 11 lbs has a decent muzzle brake and has less recoil then an ar-15.
