A tear in the pectoral muscle.

Two weeks ago I experienced a searing pain just above my reconstruction. Hoping that it was nothing and that it would just go away I thought I would just wait it out. It got progressively worse over the last two weeks and was painful to touch, feeling bruised and was now all across the top to under my arm. Today I finally got it checked out and my doctor is thinking it is a tear in the pectoral muscles from the surgery....I wondered how that could be as it has been two years but as he said there was so much surgery done there involving the muscles that scar tissue can form along with damage to the muscles. He has put me on Naproxen for the next ten days and if that doesn't work then he said that we will have to do some other tests....a bone scan and he mentioned something about injecting a dye..I guess that must be associated with some kind of X-ray. Hopefully in ten days it will heal......

I bought my self a Blackberry playbook and I am really happy with it. It has a Kobo reader on there just like the Kindle and I have already downloaded a book to read. It is really sharp and clear. Web browsing is easy to use and it has a great front and back camera built in.

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day! We went out for a nice steak dinner...


Have a great weekend and as for me it will be a quiet one and not over exerting myself.
