Another quick update. I am being discharged. The pain is far better than last time. In fact, I am on the medication I was on at weeks 3-4 of the same surgery in January! Hopefully, this means quicker recovery in terms of time back to driving, sleeping laying down, working, being mobile and able to use my arm, etc.

I did have a complication today. Some air got into my chest cavity today when they pulled the chest tube. Thus, I need to come back in tomorrow for an x-ray to see if it is stable. So I am out of the hospital, but not released to Dallas yet.
