Hi Scalena
I haven't had any surgery yet, but from what I've read of the physical side following removal of axillary nodes, what you're experiencing sounds "normal". As if anything on this journey is normal, lol. Putting my nurse's hat on, for most people following any surgery, there is a period a few days down the track where emotions kick in, and you need a good cry. Go with it, but don't let it take over. Talking to someone in a safe space is always good.
hope your recovery goes well
