My first major trip out of the house after bypass surgery (cracked chest and 5 bypasses) was to a home & RV show, where we bought a new travel trailer. We took it out about a month after purchasing it. However, after having your chest plate opened, you are severely limited in what you can do for many, many weeks - they tell you you shouldn't even lift a gallon of milk, or you can tear you chest back open.
Once you heal your chest, every thing else is pretty minor. Glad to hear you are doing ok, and enjoy the rest of your life. God and the doctor have given you more time on the planet. Enjoy it.
