Hi Swirley
By the time you read this you should be out of surgery. I'm post surgery 3 days. I came out of it better than I had anticipated. One word of advice, don't use your arm that first day. Due to all the pain killers those first 6 hours my arm felt okay, so I had my food tray, water etc beside the side that was operated on.

Not a lot of move me t yet, but definitely small improvements each day. Praying you come out feeling comfortable and recovery goes well xx
