Stitch like pain in heart area....(1st PM implanted 24th July)

Hello everyone! It's been a week or so since I was last here - what with sending kids back to school etc - all a bit hectic....!!

Anyway - after washing the bathroom floor (yes, hands and knees job!) this morning, I was aware of a stich like pain in my heart area. No terribly painful but bearable. When I took a breath I was aware of it, and just walking around was aware of it. I thought a little walk to the local shops would help - but no....

It eventually eased off after I sat on the sofa chatting to a girl friend on the phone!! But this evening after my bath it came back for about half hour - now its ok. EEEK!! should I be worried? I am currently on my own with 2 children as hubby is in Mexico and I just feel a little scared!!

Also..... since my surgery, I don't feel any better - in fact exactly the same.... and now I am back to doing the school run etc I am back to feeling a bit tired. Should I check in with my Pacing Tech Guy to adjust settings?

Still haven't raised my arm fully overy my head yet! but need to blow dry my hair tomorrow~!!! wish me luck!

Ok guys, over to you all now! Your answers will be much appreciated!

Love, Loopy Lou xx

your pm is talking to you

and it's telling you that you are overdoing it! I doubt you've done any damage but let the kids scrub the floor for now, or just let it go undone. Your boys and your house will survive. If the stitch gets worse or doesn't go away in a day or two, I'd call the surgeon back and have them check to see you didn't pull something. And I would NOT blow dry your hair tomorrow! Get one of the boys to do help you or let it dry on its own. It's frustrating when you can't get back to things as quickly as you want to, but when your body is talking to you, you'll just hurt yourself by not listening.

When are they checking your settings? If it's more than another week or so, I'd call and ask to be seen sooner. Why be tired if they might be able to adjust it so you're not?

My personal technique for hair... big fist full of mousse, scrunch it, drive with the windows down, squirt with hairspray and scrunch some more. You'd be amazed how many people think I actually put some effort into it :o)
