I have a terrific little cushion thay goes under the arm and keeps the left side comfy. It helped me sleep. Just hanging around here reading and eating a bagel and apple my friends brought by.

It will be a week or two before we have all the microbiology and pathology info to go on to the next step. So now just trying to take it easy and heal up. My Fitbit thinks I’m dead. I have 639 steps walked today. ? Thats pretty pitiful! 9 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess because this is not my normal stride and I am taking short steps with little arm movement. But what I did want was the buzzing so I would not sit continuously for hours. I do want to be sure to circulate the blood at least a little every hour. So that was the purpose in leaving it to buzz me. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee you the studies done about how bad it is to sit still for hours were not done on people recovering from surgery. Take the fitbit off. Get up and move around when you feel restless and/or energetic. In the mean time, rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the FItbit...according to my dd, (I have not asked how she knows this) step goals can be reached rather rapidly when one's device is attached to a ceiling fan. ? Keep the hive posted!

Ausmumof3 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 On 10/2/2018 at 5:43 AM, Quill said: Crappy news ahead. I put up a post a bit over a month ago about cysts in the breast because I had a hard spot on Lefty. Well, the hard spot didn’t go away and, if anything, was getting more “organized” in the way it felt. So - in for mammo, which was due anyway. Also a breast ultrasound of Lefty. Then that sucky moment when the radiology doctor comes in to discuss images - never a good sign. He said, “I feel very certain this is not a cyst.” So I scheduled a needle biopsy, which I had last Thursday. Then the anxious weekend, waiting for a report. Call came today, on my 24th wedding anniversary and the first day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. (I have impecable timing.) I have Breast Cancer, friends. I will know more after my meeting Wednesday. Thanks for your prayers and healing thoughts. I am prepared to do battle. UPDATE: surgery on the calendar Oct 30. I updated at the end of the thread, too, but we don’t have post numbers anymore. UPDATE: Lymph nodes biposy: no cancer in nodes! Also, clear margins from tumor excision! Woooooohoooo! Awesome!!! That’s fabulous news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still feel easily tired and a bit crappy, but that good news and the assurance that I am well on my way to healing does make up for it. She did give me PT exercises I have to do to counteract the “cording” in my left arm. She wants to see the range of motion drastically improved by next Tuesday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
