Side Effects and Recovery Tips
The following series are instructional videos from staff on the Cardiovascular Unit in the hospital. They are short videos that will remind you of possible side effects you may experience at home. Other videos will provide some tips and specific information you may have forgotten to ensure a safe recovery at home. We especially encourage you to watch the video on the Cardiac Rehab program as you will attend this in the coming weeks after your return home.
Patient Perspective
While instruction from staff is critical, sometimes it is nice to hear what the experience has been like for other patients. The following stories are from some of our former heart surgery patients. Please remember that each patient’s experience is unique and what you see here will not necessarily represent your journey. We hope these patient stories will give you some insights into healing from heart surgery and encourage you with your recovery.
