Not sure if this is normal?

 On Christmas Eve, I had a double bypass open heart surgery. I have several other medical problems, but this I must say was the scariest and most painful experience ever. I am still having quite a bit of pain in my incisions and my chest feels like I went 6 rounds with Mike Tyson, and all he did was punch my chest. I can't sleep laying down because it hurts to much to breathe, I keep opening my incisions every time I stand or sit. I haven't had a cigarette in 24 days, but I want one. I feel like the lack of sleep ( I am currently sleeping on a chair with an ottoman in the living room, most comfortable place right now), and this pain is making me crazy. I have been getting out and walking 5-6 days a week with my husband- but I was under the impression the pain would have lessened by now. I know that pain is relative, but I have had 10 other surgeries, and have grown a tolerance for pain due to some chronic conditions, but this is RIDICULOUS! Does anyone have a more reasonable estimate, than "when you feel better" as to how long I will feel this worn out, and in terrible pain? Thanks Alexis

Have to say, kind of disappointed. Over 200 people read my stuff- and only one reply. Don't feel very supported. I had heard good things about this being a place to talk openly and get support. Feeling a little stupid for posting.
