Surgery is tomorrow

[DianaB]

I'm glad to hear that your surgery went so well. How are you doing now that you've had a few days to recouperate?

I have good days and bad days. I have to sleep on the sofa so that I stay on my right side and if I just bump the sofa with my elbow, the pain sends me to the moon. Another 5 weeks to go.
Thanks for asking.

I'm sorry you've had to have surgery. My mom is still recovering for her surgery so I know what a long and frustrating process it can be. I hope you continue to get better and better!

Thanks so much GF. What kind of surgery did your Mom have? Hope she gets better soon.

She had a mastectomy. It was a while back, but it was the type of surgery that she will never recover 100% from. Like you, every once in a while, she'll do something and have pain unexpectedly. Her arm also gets tired really quickly.

What was your surgery for? Did it fix the problem?

Oh my, did she have cancer?
I had nerve entrapment in my elbow due to an injury. If not for the surgery, I would never have any use of my left arm.
God bless her.

She did, but it's gone now. She still goes to see her oncologist and surgeon regularly and gets blood work and hormone pills, but she's doing so well considering the stage she was in. We were really blessed!

I'm so sorry to hear about your injury, but I'm glad it's being fixed and you'll still be able to use your arm. Just take it easy and give yourself plenty of recovery time!
