I had some problems with swelling and numbness on left forearm. I had upper arm lift done at the same time. I think the upper arm wrap was too tight. I loosened the wrap, iced, and elevated. That helped.

I did some short walks today and able to cut back on pain meds slightly. I am still sleeping a fair amount. Drainage has moved to yellow/clear, volume is low. All good signs.

For those looking to have this surgery, bowel care is very important. You don't want to get constipated. Forgive me if tmi.

I've started having these feelings in my chest, like a vibrating phone is sitting against it. Very weird, though I am happy that there is sensations.
