Tube's Out!

I finally got my lymph tube out today- this makes me very happy! I’ll be able to take the bandage covering the hole off tomorrow morning- that will be the first time I’m bandage and accoutrement free since the surgery. Stretching out the arm is going well, and everything is starting to feel more normal. Where my nipple used to be now feels something like a limb does when it falls asleep, just a little numb and foreign, not sore or painful. The skin on the inside of my arm is still over-sensitive to being touched, but that’s also improving. Overall I’m quite happy with my progress! Now I’m about ready for the next steps- I’ll find out what exactly those will be on Thursday.
