Although, my question w...deja-vu! is all I can say. Although, my question was, when can I go back to work...not, that I actually wanted to go back to work! (lol) I too, had the dye ran to my sent. nodes...little was I too expect that these would come back positive...I was already bothered by the fact that I was having trouble walking because the lymph fluid was not being absorbed by my body...they had to numb the area and take it out. Then, came, the "lymph node dissection"---at which time, I was asking, when will I be able to go back to work...I was in the hospital for 5 days...I too, had to go home with a drain for my fluid--which, I still have a hole in my leg to remind me of. I have a total of about 10 inches of scar tissue. God, I couldn't even look at it. This was by far, worse than my c-section 13 years ago. I thought I was goina dye when they tried to get me out of that bed for the first time. I held the tears back. The pain was unimaginable. Here I am almost six weeks later...walking better, thanks to physical therapy, which, I was in denial about as well...I said, I don't think I need therapy-I'm young, etc. etc. Just wanted to share my story with you.
