Well, everything is as good as can be expected! [View all]

The doctor said I should keep my limits til about June 1st. I have the tiny brackets on my chest bone that have their own fragility issues, hence the additional healing and limitations time.
The good news is unless I have a major setback, I won't have to go back to St. Louis.
They also approved me doing a Functional Ability Assessment as long as the lift limit stays under 20lbs.
That should help accelerate my disability case. Fingers crossed.
There won't be any cardiac rehab until Summer as my town needs to set it up.
