@dolphina3 Hello

So sorry about your daughter’s fall and collarbone break. I feel very badly that she is experiencing the difficulty of the collarbone break (and you a facing the bilateral major breast surgery.

I can imagine anticipating the surgery and recovery is stressful.

Have you considered requesting that your MD refer you to VISITING NURSE program in your area? The visiting nurses will visit you at home and check drains, pain medication , any arm swelling, and your healing , comfort and recovery and manage any issues.

Your MD should be able to schedule at home, post discharge Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy in order to plan arm exercises and monitor your progress and range of motion and mobility as we as placement of water, medication near your bed, etc. They will be able to appropriately guide you on Walking and Movement which are important for your health and recovery .

Have you considered any hospital Stress Management sessions with a MD, PhD or MSW in order that you able to comfortably cope with any stress.

If you are interested, You Tube offers FREE Stress Guided Imagery videos with music that are calming and soothing.

Best wishes for your recovery. .
