I am so excited, just wanted to share!! I am 4 weeks post op from receiving my new friend. This weekend I finally was able to see the silver lining; I knew it would come, but was starting to get a bit discouraged at when that time was going to come. After my surgery, I continued to have extreme fatigue, and some shortness of breath as well as some tachycardic episodes. I have had some tweeks in my settings and noticed some minor improvements. I still continued to drag through my day. However, this weekend I was able to rise bright and early, not nap, managed to get through my rotations (9 hours) at school, come home take a short run both days, and I still feel like I have energy. I feel better than I have in a long time. Yes, I still have some discomfort and twangs of pain periodically in my arm, armpit, and breast; but I finally noticed the grass is greener on the other side. I just wanted to share my good news with everyone. I am grateful for this website, and the amount of peace it has brought me.
