Surgery came, it happened. I feel awful right now. I have twenty six staples in my arm right in my elbow area where the arm bends on the inside.  I am currently trying not to snarl at family in the house. I spent yesterday resting and sleeping.  Today resting, but hurting a little more.  This sucks right now.

Sorry I missed this thread earlier.  My jaw just dropped.  I hope that you are feeling better SOON.  Seriously, my jaw will be dropped for quite a while.  You are an amazing survivor in all that you have been through in the past few months.

I am cranky today., I feel so frustrated on the inside right now!  My arm hurts and I cannot get a good night's sleep without drugs.  I tried last night and it sucked rocks.  My arm does not have a comfortable position.  And no one really gives shit about it, but me!  I am cranky, can you tell?
