I'm finally back to work tomorrow, reduced hours (4 hour shifts for 4 days then gradually increasing)
Been a long times off especially seeing as I spent the first 4-5 weeks stuck inside my own house.
Feeling about 90% as I used to, still get quite tired after driving for a bit and walking long distances but getting there slowly!
For anybody not knowing what I'm on about.. http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=625033&page=1

I missed the original thread, good to hear you are back
to 90%
Will you be able to exercise normally or do you have to take it easy with one of these valves in terms of keeping your heart rate low?

Cheers mate. Heart rates not a problem, I'm in the middle of 6 3hour cardio rehab sessions and they are getting us running on treadmills, on the exercise, trampette thing and other stuff. Main thing to look out for is now i'm back in the gym is lifting bit weights about my head, so no front squats or heavy overhead press kind of thing.

Thanks mate. It's not an awful lot different, I'll see if I can get a picture tomorrow. THe redness and swelling has gone down, slowly turning white like it should

Thanks for answering my question 
I am always curious as to how devices like this affect your ability to exercise etc.
Can you elaborate on why you cannot do any overhead movements? Is this due to blood flow or something?
