Yesterday when I had to pull half the packing out, it hurt like hell, so needless to say I was scared to death to even attempt to pull it out, but KNEW it HAD to be done!
I just started my period, so a bath was kind of out of the question . So I stuck a washcloth in the microwave adn got it really hot and kept putting that on it to see if I could soften it up. I called my best friend in tears about having to do this. I was in MAJOR PANIC MODE! She talked to me for a long time and I knew I could do it!
When I went into the bathroom, I figured it was easier to give one big pull, but just couldn't. I started off slow, but it slid right out! I was ready to P A R T Y!!!!!!!!!!!! Boy what a deep hole I have in my arm pit though!
I have to keep it covered for at least two weeks so that is a bit uncomfortable as the skin under your arm is pretty sensitive, but that I can deal with! For the first time in over a month I can actually put my arm down completly next to my body! YEA YEA YEA!
It still hurts if you move a certain way, but the swelling is NO MORE and it looks good for the most part!
thanks for all the prayers and concerns...it pulled me through!

Hey girl, I did call you today to check in and left a message. I assumed you were sleeping. Did you get pain meds like we talked about? Reading your last entry and this one all I could think of was.....AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW No way! You have no idea how glad I was to heard taking out the rest of the packing was easy though. You know I totally understand this one and this is what my mom and I refer to as a butt pucker. Do you know what that is? It is when you hear something and it is soooooooooo bad it makes your butt pucker LMAO. An example is something like, lets see. Having a tooth pulled without being numb first. Or lets say, having your big toe nail torn out, etc. You get the idea right? The packing part fits into that catagory. Just the thought - awwwwwwwww But I am sooo glad this is over. I love you girl, which I know you already know. Write me when you can ok? XOXOXOX

Yay!!! I'm so glad that taking the rest of the packing out was easier than you thought! I would totally be scared to do that to. You are so lucky that you have friends who you can call up to talk you through a situation like that! (hugs)
