Just thought I would update you guys on my pain ‘m having these days. 
My head is all healed except this one small spot, but unless i’s pressured or pressed, ther’s no pain whatsoever. The pain is on the right side of my neck where the lead goes through my chest plate to the device. This device is in the way, too, and i’s pretty annoyingly painful when I lay on my side, because its edges are kind of sharp — it “pokes” from the inside.
And because of the lead or the wire, i’s kind of painful to turn my head to the left. Oh, well, i’s what the painkiller is for, I guess, but if I do take one, it makes me sleep, so I try not to take any these days. 
‘m told that all these will go away after a month or so. Well, I certainly hope so, but my second surgery is in April… everything all over again! 
You poor thing. Just reading this entry actually makes me winch in pain! Hope the pain will go away soon!
I hope you get the chance to get lots of rest… Take care, and I wish you a speedy recovery.
