Thank you for your kind prayers, dear friends, and that includes you too Cheryl.
It has been really rough pain-wise - they under-medicated my pain becuase I start to breathe too shallowly, so I had to just get through the days any way that I could. I had thought that this would just be a little surgery, but it was NOT. Not for me anyway.
I have rounded a bend though, and now am up and around a bit. But as soon as I post this, it's back to the sofa and rest.
I turn on the machine for a half hour or so, then off again, becuase it stilll is making the wound site sting too much. I will increase it as the days go on.
Thank you again for all the kind prayers, and I am open to any and all advice from anyone that has been down this road before me.
Oh, I thought that they would have put the device under my collarbone, but it is a bit lower, kinda hidden in my right girlie-lump. That was news to me!
Love to all,
Lily
