You already know all this I'm sure, but here goes... Try to ice it, 20 minutes on and off. Prop it up.. Take 2 Vicodin at a time, every 4 hours. Don't wait till the pain is really bad to take the Vicodin, you'll never "catch it". I'm so sorry you hurt rught now. See if any of that (or all of it) works. It's all I've got.

Kitkatz,
hoping you feel better. I will pray for your pain to go away on tomorrow's sunday Mass. Just let them take care of you, rest that arm.
love,
cris

I appreciate the thoughts and kind words. I kind of forgot that when they mess with the graft, they are messing with the entire arm. I hurt up until this morning. Now it just aches a little. I feel better. My allergies whipped up on me the last few days too.
Yesterday I got up at nine, went back to bed at 11:30, slept till three, got up ate, net back to sleep at 4, slept till 5, went to dinner, then dialysis. I slept six hours at dialysis. Ya think maybe I needed the sleep. I came home at 5 went back to bed, slept till nine. I sound like I live the life of my cat! Needless to say where I am going soon....Back to Bed!

You need your rest. Take a pain pill just for the Heck of it.

My arm looks better and I am getting full range of movement back into the shoulder and elbow areas. I am swimming at the gym. It made it easier to exercise the arm that way. Occasional twinges here and there.
