Pocket Revision

Hello!  I had my pocket revision on Thursday due to one lead moving and protruding under the skin.  He had to move the pocket down and deeper and was reimplanted with mesh.  Now, just healing and dealing with pain.  My doctor never prescribes pain meds for replacements or revisions according to his PA, but he gave me Norco and told the PA that I am going to need it - well, he was right!

Sorry to hear it's painful! Deeper definitely hurts more than if it's shallow, but once it heals it will be well worth it. 

I found ice helped more than pain meds. 

I second the ice!

I have one of those soft gel packs that just molds on your body kind of so it's comfortable and it's a huge help!

Hope the discomfort doesn't last long. Rest lots!

Hard to live with pain. Glad you have something to help. Hopefully you won't need anymore surgery for a decade at least. 😉 God speed your healing!

Thanks!

Thanks all!  I am icing as well - just taking the pain med to sleep, so that I can at least feel rested!!!

You know you're wired when...

You have a new body part.
