Default dealing with little ones...

Did they do the full or partial sternotomy on you? As I recall, they were planning partial and going for full if they saw problems that'd require additional cutting...

How're your little ones dealing with your incapacitation?

Brennan068, I had the full sternotomy. Just before I went in the DR felt that was the best approach. I have two little girls 4 and 7 months and they are dealing with it well. We had to show my 4 year old the scar and she understands. But I am able to open gifts and play game with them. I just carry them around or pick up heavy stuff. But so far so good. I feel much better than before but not back to normal.
