...after a triple and I feel fine except for the mammary discomfort where they harvested the artery...apparently, form talking to other bypass recipients, it can take a year to feel "normal" again...each person will be different....good luck

for the first 3 weeks i had to sleep in a recliner because it hurt way to bad to sllep on my back in bed but after my breast bone started to heel in the 4th week i am able to sleep on my back with 2 pillows under my head and one under my knee caps and i have one across my chest so i can wrap my hands around it and interlock my fingers kinda like huging myself seems to work for me
