Just remember that we are all here pulling for you tomorrow! Be sure to keep us up to date and let us know how you are doing or if you have questions that arise. The further you get along with your recovery and have your pm tweaked, you should be feeling mighty fine! Remember....ice your implant area!!!! It really helps! And no lifting the arm over the shoulders!!! Take an easy and don't beat yourself up if it takes you a little time to feel 'normal' again. :)

You'll be happily pacing before you know it!

the best of luck to-morrow. you will be okay. it is not a horrible procedure. it is a little hard to accept for awhile but i am used to it now and i am okay. i live a pempurate life and have had no problems. life is good. life is great in fact. to-day i swam in the pool with my friend and her 12 year old grandaughter. my husband put it in for me in june because he knows i love to swim. it is a year now since my implant. so please let us know how you are getting on jessie

Good Luck!

Good luck- take a button down shirt with you and if you need a bra a strapless one:) It will be fine!
God Bless!

You know you're wired when...

Your signature looks like an EKG.
