Hi Bunnie
Thanks for asking. This VAT surgery is rougher than the first. I got my voice back after 5 days, but I have a lot of nerve pain and am on Gabapentin. It can take up to 6 months for the nerve pain to go away. Although I no longer take Tylenol or Ibuprofen for pain relief and just support the nerve pain I have. But it is wearing. I still have some limitation of movement with arm. I also have a bump under breast which they think is a Seroma and they have prescribed antibiotics for it in case there is an infectious component. I am a little nervous of that because 12 years ago I had C-diff from Amoxicillin. I am taking a different antibiotic which has low risk for C-diff so hope I don't have an added issue.
I am walking in the morning...so nice to be outside...but now we have air quality issue!!! Too cold in the winter to walk outside and now air quality issue in the summer???? Not the way to go.
