Doctor wants to wait due to the severe bruising on my arm from the surgery. Plus I haven't been nauseous since the surgery. Good news for a week...finally!

I know it can be scary to start D for the first time. Lots of prayers are sent your way so keep your chin up & I hope your nurses help ease you into D. Trust me it gets easier over time.
Good luck & God Bless!
