Thank you everyone for your prayers and support 
Open heart 6 coronary artery bypass surgery was 3 weeks ago today. I am currently walking a couple of miles every day (2-3 combined sessions) and pulling up to 2250 milliliters on the Incentive Spirometer. I was able to pull up to 3000 prior to the surgery, so getting pretty close ā¦
I have begun minimal dry-fire practice, but have not carried anything beyond pepper spray since the surgery. I cannot physically rack my 10mm pistol against the 23 pound recoil spring, but have figured out how to overcome 9mm recoil spring for chamber āemptyā inspection. I am able to place my hands between my knees and use hand grip combined with pulling my knees together without flagging myself 
The chest was somewhat numb for several weeks. I didnāt know what a blessing that was until the feeling started coming back. The ankle on the vein donor leg is still numb ā Iām really looking forward to getting feeling back in it 
Edit: I had lost almost 20 pounds, but have gained a couple back for a net loss of 15. I have always fought for every pound of muscle I could get and always lose weight when I cannot lift weights. I have been told I am about 6 months away from safely getting back into weight lifting. I am sure the old āmuscle has memoryā will kick back in, but until then I barely recognize myself in a mirror right now.
