gmcraft - thanks for the suggestions. My home nurse is coming soon and I will run them past her as well. Its just gotten more and more sore - today is definitely the worst. Had to take some Tylenol. Hopefully we'll get this sorted straightaway.
Will let you know what works. I am beginning to have a sneaking feeling that it may not have been placed perfectly to begin with. Add that to 20+ pounds weight loss over the past three weeks (don't worry, there is plenty to spare) and I guess it changes the physical playing field a bit.
Thx a bunch!
