My post op appt to see the Dr is on Tuesday morning and hoping I will know more after that visit. I don't really like to take pain meds but I needed to in this case (he had prescribed me some stuff to take as needed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleh, what a way to spend a holiday weekend :( Pain meds scare me too, but I think your body is better able to heal itself when it isn't stressed by pain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot to mention that I saw lots and lots of the "faux fur" and "fuzzy" jackets in shop windows in Rome. A few on the streets. I wonder if it will be the next outerwear trend? I hope not -- to me, they look like something best worn by kids under the age of 15! Yes, Instagram, style bloggers, it all seems to have made trends travel much more quickly. & yes, I see a lot of the faux fur vests around here... mostly on teenagers but I have to admit I wouldn't mind one to wear with jeans & boots :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the dr suggest a bag of frozen peas on the red area? Just thinking if this was an injury, I would use that to reduce pain and inflammation. Keeping up the good thoughts and prayers for you!

They gave me ice bag before I left the hospital so I was using that on a regular basis. Thank you for the good thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacruise804 Posted December 2, 2019 #81 Share Posted December 2, 2019 The frozen peas can be good since they are more flexible than some ice packs. Hoping you are feeling better today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted December 2, 2019 #82 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I appreciate the peas suggestion......to be honest, I just don't feel like going to the grocery store. I have a bag of frozen broccoli.….LOL......and I decided to use a Ziploc bag with cubes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalspin Posted December 2, 2019 #83 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I went to an ethnic grocery store and bought a bag of frozen peas in a brand I never buy so no confusion. Then I wrote on it "DO NOT EAT" with a permanent marker just to be double safe! Use and refreeze and keep for the time you need it. Broccoli is not so form-fitting! Ice seems colder than frozen vegetables, uncomfortably so for me. I hope you feel better soon! (My dear Sis said her breast biopsy was one of the more painful things she has had, and she's had A LOT of medical procedures!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted December 2, 2019 #84 Share Posted December 2, 2019 The biopsy I had 2 weeks prior...….part of it was painful This was the surgery....I was out for it so did not feel anything....but this recovering part? Maybe I just didn't know what to expect. Today's icing has made it feel somewhat better....and that was with cubes in a Ziploc bag.....but this is now day 5.....hoping for good news at the Dr tomorrow. I am sorry to have gotten off topic on here...….. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
