Hang in there
Tricia,
I am three weeks out from my surgery, and it does get easier. I have a lot of pain in my arm from nerve damage, and I still take a pain pill to get through the day, but each day I fell stronger and more like myself. I was very glad to get the drains out 8 days after surgery! I went shopping last week and bought some lose shirts from J. Jill so I don't have to wear a bra. They all rub right where the drain site was. I am (was) small breasted so hopefully, I can do without a bra during the hot months to come.
Get lots of rest, eat well, and know that it Does Get Better.

Emelie
