Hey Judy,

I'm so sorry it hurt so much - sounds like mine. I was very tender around the actual needle site for a week or two, like you, so as MD said take it easy!! Rest and relax.

I have no tips for the horrible wait you are about to endure... for me it dragged by, every day was a killer. People say relax, do stuff with friends, take your mind off it... well for me, that's great for weekends and outside work hours, but it was while I was at work and staring out the window that the time dragged.

All I can say is you have to stay strong and positive - for me I spent a lot of time praying and bargaining with God... whatever your faith is, try and find strength there. You've been given this bubba for a reason, have confidence in that.

Big for being so brave... and keep it up...

PS - I would have shot my DH if he'd left the room while it was happening!!! I was holding his hand so tight it was impossible for him anyway!!!
