What will my recovery at home be like after heart surgery?

It is important to be patient with the pace of recovery, even after discharge from the hospital. Remember, fatigue is normal after a major operation like heart surgery. You shouldn't be surprised to find that one day you feel strong, while the next day you feel tired and weak. Don't get discouraged; your recuperation period will allow the body to heal, replenish its blood content, and increase its strength and endurance.
