I'm glad to hear that surgery went well. Cardiac rehab is a very helpful thing when it comes time to get back into activity and I would encourage you to ask your doctor about it since he hasn't mentioned it to you yet.
Good job keeping your head on straight! Continue to heal well!

I'm so glad everything went well! Definitely call your doctor(s) and ask about rehab. Let them know you want to be able to do vigorous exercise in the near future. A lot of times doctors aren't clued into the fact that their patients want more than to just be able to get around. Heart docs, in particular, are used to older folks who aren't that healthy.
To use my own example... I got a pacemaker at the age of 45. Before getting it I had a LONG discussion with the doc about how I wanted to be able to run and bike and ski again. I think it was eye opening for him.
Make sure they set up a program for you that gets you going as soon as safely possible. I'm sure there are some rehab folks that are more keyed in to athletes that you could go to.

When you are a bit closer to being back on the bike, maybe you could organize a TE ride/lunch (whatever) for those of us who live not that far away. I would certainly come to help you celebrate your return to the bike.
Best wishes for a quick recovery,

Yes, definitely talk to your heart doc. My DH's cardiologist gave him restrictions, which DH was intelligently able to discuss with him and prove why he didn't need to take such precautions. Cardiologists are not used to healthy people who exercise vigorously.

I'm glad you're doing well. On the bright side, our weather has been sorta crummy and if you have to be off the bike, better to have it happen in the Winter, right? Come Spring you'll be healed and ready to roll!
