Today's first surgery was at 10:30, so I came in at 9:30, but when I came out, it was 2:30 PM!! When I asked the director, he said the surgery was done by 12:45. I thought it would take about 1 hour to 1.5 hours, but the surgery is over 2 hours away. There isn't much swelling yet, so it's okay and there's no pain at all! But when I heard that the incision was slightly incised, it felt like it was throbbing?? My arms don't go above my shoulders. The hospital told me to take off the compression garment after 3 days because it lasts 24 hours for 3 days. There was even someone taking a picture of me taking off the compression garment on the first day. I guess it's the same for every person and hospital, right? I heard it will swell more on the 2nd to 3rd day, so I'll come back to report on the progress.
