Slowly healing

I have been using the heating pad without much success. Its frustrating to have more pain when I breath in my back, rather than my chest. Based on all my research it doesn't seem to be kidney related and may in fact just be muscular, but it sure isn't healing.

In fact, all healing progress seems to have slowed to a crawl. I worry about sneezing because of my back (deep breath) while the rest of the pain, and even the incision, seem to just stay the same.

My walking, especially the last three days outside, is going well. My internal thermostat has been re-calibrated and most everything else seems pretty normal. Occasionally, I can even forget I am recovering from open heart surgery.
