Congrats Tee Tee. You will be fine. The first few weeks are a little sketchy cause you are adjusting. Make sure you get your rest. Your body has to heal. Rest is important. I will be checking up on you. Welcome to the other side!!

TeeTee how did your first day back ay work go? Any updated pics? Hope all went well.

I think the feelings you are having are normal and part of the process. How are things going as far as your pain level. Are you more mobile, are you able to more your arms more freely. Do you still feel a lot of pressure on your chest? I wish you a speedy recovery. I pray your thoughts get better as the day pass.
