Can anyone tell me how long they were on pain meds with the full sternotomy approach? How long did it take until you felt like yourself again? My family is talking about getting together on Thanksgiving 3 weeks after surgery and I am really wondering if that would be way too soon...

Will be thinking about you and your surgery tomorrow. Here's wishing a quick and successful recovery. I bet you will be fine in no time at all! Feel free to private message me if I can comfort you in any way.
