We are going to the Cayman Islands about 6 weeks after my CABG surgery. (It is now almost 4 weeks.) I am walking regularly up to 30 minutes at a time and have been for a couple of weeks. We would like to go on a tour where you get off a catamaran and walk in shallow water to feed the sting rays. I saw a picture of the boat and there are two steps (similar to a ladder, but angled towards the boat) to get on and off. Would getting back on the boat using these steps be too much for my sternum?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry much for this kind of angled steps. 6 weeks time is enough for proper healing after CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting). So no need to worry about wound, and you can definitely enjoy outdoors without fear. Just make sure you should avoid water directly on the wound. Otherwise, no problem in climbing angled steps. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
