Caroline, you're just doing so swell. Hang in there through these early, tough days. Pop those pills, keep the pain boogey man away before he gets too close. I can't wait to see where you're at!!! Roz

Hi everyone! Tis me writing tonight. My second round of reconstructive surgery went well (took about 3 hours) and I got home at about 3 pm. I am in an incredible amount of pain, but am trying to keep my mind off of it (thus writing, taking photos, etc.) I am WAY more alert than I'd expected I'd be. I'll have photos up in my picture trail in just a little bit -- http://picturetrail.com/carolineam and then click on the My Reconstructive Journey folder. As for the pain, my arms don't hurt too much but my armpits and below is what is hurting me sooooooooo.... There is a strong burning sensation and an incredible amount of soreness under my arms. What I totally wasn't prepared for was the pain in my chest muscles. My breasts themselves are just sore - sort of like when having tender breasts with one's period or during pregnancy, but the chest muscles are super duper duper sore making any movement of my neck, upper arms, torso, etc. being very hard to do. Since being home, I've been camped out in my recliner. The moving company was here most of the day yesterday so the condo is pretty empty. Alan moves tomorrow morning with 2 of our kitties (Ms Mittens and Miss Slippers) and then I'll be here with my Dad's fiance, Ellen, and our other 2 cats and bird. I'll be here in the condo through Friday and would just love visitors. Mikey and Leonard are going to be visiting tomorrow, and anyone interested in joining them is welcome to come!!! (email me for directions - I am in Lake Forest just across the street from Saddleback Church). I expect to be here in CA through mid-March (and can't wait for the karaoke party at Mary Ann's on March 5th (did everyone read her post yesterday that she has a WLS date? YAY!) and am going to miss just so so so many people here. The PA boards seem to have super nice people there, too, but the board is not nearly as active as it is here (there isn't much in terms of parties, luncheons, events, etc. either - something I am going to work on changing).
