Guest guest Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 , 2 and 1/2 months after explant I would now rate my pain at a 2. Only my frozen shoulder hurts, my thumbs a little and that's pretty much it. Before explant a 10 for me with head, neck, shoulder and arm pain constantlyplus my fibro was MUCH worse. You'll be a new woman soon!!! Love, Penni AFTER EXPLANT For thoes of you that have symptoms of neck,back ,arm,leg ,feet pain....does it get better after explant ?

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Penni, thanks so much for the encouraging words!! I have the pre- surgery tummy butterflies - mostly excitement, but a little scared of what will be found when he opens me up. My lymph nodes have been hurting under my armpits for quite awhile. Well, God is definitely taking care of me and will have His hand on the PS's hands when he's operating. I'm very happy that your pain level is that low. I will have faith that will happen for me, too. Love you lots, Sunny --- In , " Penni Pitre " <penniquilts@...> wrote: > > , > > 2 and 1/2 months after explant I would now rate my pain at a 2.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Sunny, I am 44 I had my implants 20 years as well. I had mine removed last August it has been almost a year Yea!!!! I feel alot better almost right away I had more energy and the pain in hips and tailboe as well as fibro was more manageable. I was so scared because I had them so long and had capsular contraction . My breasts are full again and I am very glad I stayed strong and went with my gut that they were the cause for all the sickness. Good luck you will be great I am sure, Love and hugs,Terri P.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Terri, that is SOOOO encouraging to hear! I am 5 sleeps away from my surgery and a little nervous, but really looking forward to getting my health back. I am 58 yrs. old and have 4 grandchildren that are waiting to get their ole granny back...the one that could get down on the floor and have a good wrestle with them. The one that could go skating and sledding with them. Hawaii...mmmmh....that would be nice right now. Mind you, in little old Red Deer, Alberta, Canada it's really hot tonight, still 26 degress C outside at 1 a.m. I remember being in Maui a few years ago and walking around at 3 a.m. and it was 30 degrees C = I'm not sure in Fahrenheit = I'm guessing 80 plus. Unbelievably beautiful. The ocean was spectacular. Thanks again for your support! Love & Healing, Sunny > Thanks so much, .

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Donna, I really appreciate your loving support...it's 2:30 a.m. my time and I'm wide awake. Oh, well, after my anaesthetic at l0 a.m. I'll be sleeping for awhile! Feeling thirsty too...can only rinse my mouth out with water and spit. I'm a bit anxious, although I feel pretty faithful about things turning out. My biggest concern is that Dr. Furness takes out all the garbage. He said he would take out as much as possible without making me bleed overly. It's this trust thing....you know. I am submitting a letter to the Administrator of the hospital and my PS in the a.m. regarding retrieving my implants from Pathology in a few days. They agreed to release them. I don't have the $$$ for Dr. Blais to analyse, but I'll send them anyway and have faith that when the time comes, I will have the finances. I took in that Big Hug! Felt good!

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Dawn, my surgeon's name is Dr. Furness. I live in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. He's kinda egotistical (many docs are, though) but very exact and meticulous. My surgery was a great success! It's 1l:32 p.m. my time and I'm at my son's apartment watching movies and munching out! Thanks for your prayers & thoughts of me, Love, love, Sunny > > Who is Sunny's surgeon? > Sunny, if you are reading this, forgive me for not addressing you.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 I know it all differs from patient to patient but how soon after explant did you ladies start to drive and do light cleaning around the house ? I'm probably having a lift too. Maybe a T lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 I was able to get around the day after explant and make something to eat for myself and clean up a bit. My mom came to help me though. Hubby decided to take time off from household chores and caring for our son while my mom was here. UGH!!! How lazy. I also started driving about 4 days after eventhough my doc said to wait 7 days. I couldn't take my mom's driving anymore. God bless her ... she is an AWFUL driver.
