Ed, your pep talk to Jim works for me too. I tend to compare my recovery time to those who had the MAZE only. I don't always consider the additional trauma of the bypass, the repair to the mitral valve and the tuck to reduce the size of the left atrium for a total of 7.5 hours on the table as well as being taken off and put back on the by pass to redo the mitral valve repair when they found that it was still leaking before they closed. It's just common sense that it should take my body longer to recover from all of the trauma over and above the MAZE. One of the wonderful things about this board is that we are able and willing to help each other keep things in perspective. Thanks again to everyone that has shared their experiences.
