So here I am on 19th November, 3 days before my next surgery, and just under ten weeks since the last surgery. As you can see the scar looks extremely good now, and by next summer should hardly be visible. I am still using scar oil and massaging, and my physiotherapist also does massage work around the whole arm, shoulder and neck. There has been a huge improvement in this left side since surgery, and although the right arm isn't as symptomatic, I hope it will be beneficial in other ways.
I am packing up my suitcase and getting everything ready for my next hospital admission. I am due to arrive on Thursday 21st November for 2pm at the Pre-Op assessment clinic, and will then be admitted to hospital properly subject to bed availability. I really hope there will be no problems, and the icing on the cake would be to end up on the same ward as I did for the first side, as they were superb in there.
I will blog again when I can, but will take video diaries whilst I am in hospital. I am feeling a bit more nervous because the first side went so well, so there seems a lot of pressure to ensure it all goes as well the second time - probably on my surgeon more than on me!
