Hi Linda,
Deanne is absolutely right. The only thing I would add is to do the exercises the physio will give you in hospital without fail.

I also only needed Panadol after the first day or two, and the pain was almost non-existent. A small pillow to tuck under your arm really helps, particularly at night.
Don't be scared. You will get through this. One hurdle at a time. We will be here for you. Big hug. xx Michelle
