One day left.
Not left in the hospital, but left before the next surgery.

Yay….?

Waiting on breakfast — it’s a little slow this morning — and listening to the BEEP BEEP BEEP of the vac. It says there’s a leak. I don’t think there’s a leak. The nurse earlier said it was secure. It’s just on a timer.

I’m a bit tender today.
I have some soreness on my left, at the back of my armpit, that hurts to the touch. It’s not covered by tape or anything. It’s a persistent feeling. Not pain, exactly, but a red flag to me — of all people.

Combined with the ache that’s been under the right shoulder blade for the past two days, it has me worried.

Almost, but not quite, red alert.

Beyond the discomfort, I’m apprehensive about my well-fought liberty to walk the halls. Yes, I’ve stumbled a couple of times If I do and pull on that area, I think I may cry.

No. I don’t cry.
I’ll keep going. But I may not like it.

And then there’s the whole operation thing…
What if everything back there is ripped, stretched, and inflamed?

Could that impact the surgery and recovery?

I’m sure I’m making more out of this than it’s really worth. I’m good at that.

But, what’s left to do with the BEEP BEEP BEEP?
