Lifting and Reaching. If your surgery required an incision on your sternum (breastbone), it will take about 6-8 weeks for your sternum to heal. During this time, you may do light household chores, such as laundry, shopping, cooking, light gardening, dusting, and washing dishes when you feel up to it.
We are planning to purchase non-refundable airline tickets. Expedia told us the tickets are refundable â we would lose only the handling fee (around $200) but keep the face value and we must use it in next year. Does that mean if we cancel our trip for a covered reason, we might not get full cash refund of our air ticket? Mimi.
Southwest is great for indecisive travelers. Other U.S. airlines generally charge between $75 and $150 for most changes to an award ticket, and between $75 and $200 to redeposit miles after canceling an award flight. But Southwest will allow you to change your ticket for only the difference in cost of the new flight.
