No, I'm not in any pain. The areas where they did the liposuction is tender, but besides that, everything is ok. They sent me home with more pain killers, just in case. The antibiotic medicine I'm taking tastes horrible. Due to the damage from the radiotherapy and surgery I'm unable to swallow capsules anymore, I nearly choke on them, so they mixed me up some medicine. Thankfully, I only have to take it for 4 more days. For over 3 years I used the PEG for medication.
I stayed in hospital overnight. The surgeon visited me the night of the surgery, and the following morning. She was happy with the result, so that was a huge relief. Moving the fat from one area to another is called 'fat transfer'.
I think of everyone often, and I hope Clark is managing ok.
Bye for now
