Battered and Bruised!!

Hi guys!!

Another quick question....

I had my surgery on 24th July and I am STILL very bruised and swollen.... how much longer do I have to wait for all bruises to go!!

Hope you all ok!

Bruises

I've had my pacemaker now for 3 weeks, and my chest and arm is still all black and blue. So, I'd think that your case is normal. Hopefully it'll start to fade soon.

Hey gang
It took mine about 3 weeks for the bruising and stiffness to go away. Your incision tenderness will go away in about six weeks or so. hang in there, there will be a day where you won't even know you have it.

You know you're wired when...

Like the Energizer Bunny, you keep going.
