Hello Friends,

 

I am still mending, hurts like hell, and it aint over...so, I am going to continue to blog about the recovery, and radiation, what tamoxifen is like, scars? no scars? 

 

but i only have my index finger on my left arm helping me to type right now.

 

so i will write more later.

 

there is serious pain in my armpit, and very tender and swollen. i dont have a fever, so no infection. sometimes it feels like hot liquid is tricklin down my arm, but there's nothing there.

 

other times it's like an arrow shoots from my nipple to my armpit, lightning fast! Yeow! Peew----peew---peew...like that!

 

I am trying to take very limited amounts of pain meds, because they make you...well...it's really hard to go...you know...go! so I had some prunes...prune juice...cod liver oil...no luck yet.

 

now it is like a contests against time...how long will it take for peg to go?... maybe one day more? half a day? three days?

 

will i just pop before i poop?

 

ugh. such a gross topic! i wish i knew this might happen, i would have prepped for it...

 

But I am sooooo happy to be 95% sure that I am going to be a-okay. But there is still lots to do ahead.

 

hugs and love and moving my arm little by little on day 4. 

 

Love Peg.
