As you can see in the photo today, the swelling on my right is hardly noticeable!.
So the next step, possibly a big one, is tomorrow.. our follow up visit with the surgeon Dr. Mayberg at his office at Swedish. Not sure what info this visit will bring, but will update tomorrow evening. I am feeling GREAT today and looking forward to the day. Yesterday brought more visits from Angels, Sherry S. stopped by with wonderful homemade soup! I can hardly wait for dinner! Yum.. (yes, I am still on steroids). Thank you Sherry! The only physical issue that bothers me is the site of the arterial line in my left wrist. It was removed at discharge, but has continued to hurt.. the area is not swollen or red, but the artery hurts to touch and feels lumpy for about 8 inches up from the insertion site at the wrist. Kind of aches all the time.. I have tried warm, moist packs throughout the day yesterday which feel good when they are on there, but makes little difference after.. Probably one of those issues that will resolve itself over time. I will definitely bring it up with the Dr. tomorrow.
With love to all..
Richard
