She had a mastectomy. It was a while back, but it was the type of surgery that she will never recover 100% from. Like you, every once in a while, she'll do something and have pain unexpectedly. Her arm also gets tired really quickly.

What was your surgery for? Did it fix the problem?

Oh my, did she have cancer?
I had nerve entrapment in my elbow due to an injury. If not for the surgery, I would never have any use of my left arm.
God bless her.

She did, but it's gone now. She still goes to see her oncologist and surgeon regularly and gets blood work and hormone pills, but she's doing so well considering the stage she was in. We were really blessed!

I'm so sorry to hear about your injury, but I'm glad it's being fixed and you'll still be able to use your arm. Just take it easy and give yourself plenty of recovery time!

I am trying real hard with the recovery time. Have a hard time with not being able to clean my home. I am THE ONLY FEMALE in my family.

Give the guys some chores!

Donna, you need to demand some help. Just pass out some chore lists and then make them follow it. Hopefully you're recover more quickly than anyone thought, but in the meantime..make them help you!

Donna, I'm glad to hear that you're doing so well. I agree with Janet that they guys can help out with the chores. It sure won't hurt them and maybe they'll appreciate you a little more!!! You just take care of yourself and don't try to over do!!!
