Ahh agony!

Have you ever had a heart attack? OK, probably not. You know when you drink a soda too fast and you get that burning sensation in your chest? Multiply that by 10 and move the pain to your shoulder. That's how I'm feeling today. I know it's gas pain left over from my surgery but OMG it is sooo painful. Maybe even more than the surgery itself.

Right after surgery the pain was in my chest and back, now it's moved to my left shoulder and arm. I can even feel it into my neck. It's like it comes in waves, I'll be OK for a while and then I'll take a deep breath and WHAM! I've been sleeping with the heating pad on my shoulder but I don't know if it's actually doing any good. I don't want to take any more of my pain meds so I took some Tylenol to see if it would help. I know the gas has to work its way out of my body but I sure wish I could help it along!

Other than that I've been feeling really good. I drove a little this past few days, getting in and out of the car is a little tricky sometimes but I managed. I realized today that I have not had a Diet Dr Pepper or Diet Coke since October 1st! Anyone that knows me knows what an amazing thing that is!! Funny thing is, I haven't really missed it. I'm drinking bottles and bottles of water every day. And that's soooo not like me either! LOL!
