The above Youtube shows me at 10 days post-op, but I am now feeling a great day of buring in the whole of my sternum and to the top of where my breast starts on the left.
Last night I had a great deal of difficulty getting off to sleep due to pain. Everything feels hot and so, so sore. I was so glad this area on the sternum had remained numb until very recently. It helped me to get out of hospital. I would have struggled to leave hospital with that pain, as well as the pain that is around my scar and feels like it is pulling all the muscles in this area.
I am having some random pain radiating down my left arm - it could be the subluxing ulnal nerves, and it ends in the little finger, but it is definitely not staying there, as it was permanent pain before the operation.
I still seem to be needing so much sleep and just fall asleep watching the TV.
I had therapy today, but it has taken it out of me, and the journey was really a bit too much.
I am now waiting to hear from my physio about my appointment on Thursday, and whether this should be a 30/60 minute appointment.
Other than that, no temperature or fever, just general post operative soreness and the pain and novelty of having surgery has long since worn off!
