Sunday pm, 10/8

Hello, all. Quick update for the beginning of the week. Nothing dramatic. Still in pain, but overall seems better. The front chest really hurts and keeps me from bending over, which is one of those things that you don't miss until you can't do it. Did do 1/2 mile on the treadmill and then took a walk with Mom, so I'm doing what I can. Still not sleeping well.

Have to admit that being in constant pain has affected my attitude, so for those of you who were expecting to hear from me by now: count yourself lucky. Pain = bad mood. Coughing, hiccuping, sneezing: all bad. Hole from chest tube looking better. I am making progress, but seems very slow. Yes, I know, "hang in there". A lot easier said then done. Thanks for checking in, Laurie
