Home and feeling little better each day. Thanks for your encoragement and prayers. Still become anxious when I feel tingling or warmness under arm or underarm. Don't know if temperature flashes come from surgery trama, anestesia, healing or nerves or heat wave in nj? trying to rest and get stronger. ann

    Wishing you
    a speedy recovery Ann! Take really good care of yourself and be very
    gentle with yourself. It gets frustrating around week two (at least for me),
    but be try and be patient and don't push yourself. I think I added a week
    to my healing because I became impatient.

    Do you have expanders in? That seems to take longer to heal.

    Hugging you (very carefully)

    glad to hear you are home and feeling better
    i was a few days ahead of you - got home on the 19th. i too experienced that feeling of tingling in the arm - was terrified to move because i didn't want to disturb the drains. drains are now out, and healing well. am wishing the same for you.

    gentle hugs from heidi
