Wow..

It has been a couple of days short of a full week for my implant surgery. The awful pain I had is gone! Just very sore and pulling because of the implant weight. Still have a ways to go with healing and movement/sleep. But, without the haze of pain, I can tell a BIG difference in my fatigue level. I can breathe great (feel like I got a set of new lungs too). It's great to have a normal heartbeat. I have not had one for 16 yrs, and forgotten how good it feels. What an odyssey this has been in a very short time span. I look back and think "Geez, what a whiney I was"! "What a baby"! I am so grateful to all that have lent support.

I'm so happy to hear you are doing much better.

The soreness will fade in time and so will the pulling feeling - you're still doing a lot of healing under that scar. In time you will get better sleep too:)

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Janey. You actually thought of me?! Oh wow! how incredibly sweet and thoughtful! How are you feeling? Are you having any problems or pain? I don't want that for you... it would hurt me. I will pray for things to get better and better,

Thank you all for looking past your own situations to write encouraging things to me.
