Ok, the Up from yesterday has come Down. The pain isn't so bad. Most of the gas has moved down, at least out of my shoulder. I still feel like I have an elephant on my chest,but I think today it's just a baby elephant.

 

I am forcing liquids down sip by sip by sip. I'm not hungry and even the water seems to just sit on my chest. I know it will get better I'm just a bit blue today. Mostly bored I think since it's too hot to go outside and nothing much I can do inside since I can't really bend or pick up anything.

 

I guess I'll let my DH torture me by taking off my bandaids and go take a shower. Maybe that will perk me up.

 

Reading all the great blogs helps though, so to all of you, Thanks for sharing!

Oh Rhonda, I've been so worried! I'm so sorry! I'm still having trouble with water. Everything goes down except water. Feels like it sits there also! If you need need to talk I'm here. All private messages go on my phone so I get them immediately. Take care!
