Divya:

Very soon, I would say within a week. I was feeling maybe like 90% healthy. The first initial couple of days were very, very tough because I was in the ICU, and, you know, they put you in a heart-lung machine so that pretty much, you cannot walk, you have difficulty eating, but within a week I was pretty much back to normal. I could do most of my stuff myself.
