Shelly,
It's good to read that your mother is home.
I think rehab will be very beneficial for her.
Best wishes for her continued recovery, and please keep us posted.

Slow going..

Slow going..

Just an update, my mother returned home this week-end (she had been staying home with me). Slow going but getting stronger. She complains alot about arm pain anyone else have this?? It's hard to know what is mending pain versus something problematic. Just thankful everything is over and went well. Her breathing was her biggest problem with all the fluid retention. Again thanks for all the support and words of wisdom. I'll be in touch.

I think most of us experience arm and shoulder pain....there is a lot of stretching and pulling on the arms ad shoulders....As long as it is not neck and radiating down the arm it is probably just from the trauma of the surgery.
