yeah! I'm about 6 weeks out of my first knee replacement, and a pacemaker and the pain is intermittent in intensity,
but its never yet dropped to zero, but its getting better slowly it used to be almost unbearable
but lately its just an intermittent intensity, throbbing P.I.T.A. stronger, mostly at night , making sleep very difficult.
So I'm sure he's not feeling up to doing zilch yet, if he had heart surgery
