This is the start of my second week at work. Last week I needed a nap several days out of the week. Today, I worked and then did the food shopping. Tolerated a real bra for 8 hours. Tomorrow I may be interviewed for the local paper. I look forward to sharing my story with those who may be considering this surgery.
I will note more migraines and more violent migraines, since the surgery. I can't imagine that there is a connection, but I will mention it to my surgeon in May. I had flu like symptoms this past weekend, again, probably not related, but needed to make sure I stayed hydrated. That was hard and I worried more than usual about it.
I must admit that if I could afford to retire tomorrow I just might. I enjoyed staying home and weekends were much more fun when I didn't have a list of things to accomplish!

week 10?
Hard to believe it has been that long. Most times I forget about the device. My stamina is excellent and on vacation 2 weeks ago I was able to do all that I normally do.......I walked Disney World and Universal and went down the slide at our resort. Great fun.
Travel: Pat down went fine. One group insisted on a private check of the incision itself. No problem. The grandkids were so good at security and were a big help for a 5 and 7 year old. Sweethearts the two of them.
Not being able to sleep on my left side continues to make bedtime unpleasant. In fact, it is the awakening and moving supine to sit/stand that makes me most aware of the lead, even sometimes under the right breast which is odd for sure. No pain to speak of but bra wear is still avoided when at all possible.
Today was my first full day of home care treatments and carrying the computer in my left hand is my habit. That felt weird under my arm, like something was there......oh yeah, the device. We shall see if I ever get used to that.
In general doing well........all things considered....and I have stopped feeling like there will be an incidence just because I now have the device.......but I do cherish each day just a little bit more
