I had that breast surgery last April and ..... you guessed it ..... a nurse came into the prep room and asked which breast I expected to have the surgery preformed upon. I said, "the left of course". She handed me a marker and asked me to draw an X ..... I did.

Oh that's so true. I'm glad everything went okay Lara.
Yes, I've had 3 boob surgeries, or is it 4, and every time they've put a great big X on the spot with the cyst. I've rested a lot today and have done my exercises, but they are hard. Leg lifts, hold to the count of 10, 10 times, 3xday. Yuck. Hugs for all.

Hi Doody, glad to hear you've been resting.
Those exercizes will get easier and easier. Keep taking care of yourself there. |

Thanks everybody.
I took the big bandage off and put bandaids on the incisions. I think my knee looks as big as it did with the bandage on! You should have seen me with plastic wrapped around my knee held on by duct tape. So I could take a shower. You should have seen me when I took the duct tape OFF. LOL But it worked. I'm going back to work tomorrow and dreading it. I'm walking around or should I say limping. Tuesday I get the stitches out. Hugs for every1!!!

Well I got the stitches out, replaced with steri strips, I think, and am still not supposed to soak in a tub for another week! Egads, I miss my whirlpool.
I told the doc I almost went to emergency yesterday late. Fell asleep on the couch and woke up with godawful pain on the inside of my knee and couldn't move a muscle. Every time I tried the pain was excruciating and I thought, oh crap, I broke something. After about 10 minutes it subsided and I was able to roll over and get off the darned couch. So anyway, the doc said it was my kneecap causing the disturbance. He said he did a lot of 'spring cleaning' in my knee in addition to the repairs. Said my knee was a mess. Did some work shaving a lot of stuff away. Lordy, makes me sick thinking of it. So I said, "Well! You told me you were up and doing 8 surgeries the day after your knee scope, and I've had tons of people tell me at work that they were up and about after 2 days, so I tried really hard to keep myself up and moving and resting in between." He told me I went overboard and need to continue to realllllyyyy take it easy. That he did a lot of work in my knee and I was not everybody else. Then my mom says "Well when he came in after surgery he told you to stay off your feet for the rest of the week and only walk as tolerated." Hello. I was like...numb brain at the time and that's what my parents were there for, to listen and relate to me at a later time, LOL. Anyway, yeah I have to go back to work, I don't have enough leave to stay away. I start a few rounds of PT starting Friday. And I can at least take the stocking off at night. They said to continue to wear it for a couple of weeks or until I feel comfortable enough not to have it on and the swelling is down. Oi vey.
