 Hello, I am Dr. Murli Krishna, Consultant Cardiac Surgeon at Manipal Hospital, Bangalore. Well, the day-to-day activity is how fast the patient can resume his normal activities, will vary from patient to patient. If it is children where children are concerned, they usually bounce back in third day, they will be absolutely normal, they will be jumping about, but adults are concerned since the bone is not cut. It depends on each pair of their pain perception, if their pain, since they are on analgesics, what we usually do is by fourth or fifth day they can resume their normal activities and postoperative recovery is quite fast.
