Mark,
Thank you so much for your message. Yesterday the nurse
mentioned that he should practice deep breathing, but I had never read
or heard that before. It makes sense. It's just so great to feel that
there's something we can do to help the recovery and I guess just have
a little control. Oh, and I was happy to hear that the recliner helped.
I surprised my husband with one. His surgery is Tuesday. He's
practicing reclining a lot already. :->
Just so I know, when
you say you were "uncomfortable' what do you mean? Was it terrible? I worry that the pain meds don't really do much for people. I don't want to
scare my husband (and we can't do anything about it anyway), but I
would rather know what other people have experienced. Our doctor told
us the recovery is extremely painful. Was that your experience?
And Mark, you have another tumor? What do they say about it? Are you okay? Sometimes this cancer sounds like Whack a Mole.
Thanks so much for your help. I hope you are doing well.
Annie
