I also told Rebecca about some people having quite a bit of pain with the drains and muscle soreness after the vats operation. She said that�s one of the reasons Dr. Cooper does the one down the sternum...there are few nerves and no muscles there. She also said then the drains can be inserted higher and they aren�t as affected by everyday movement.
She's also going to try to get me into a rehab program up here...either St. Luke's or Palmerton. I'd rather St. Luke's 'cause it'd be much easier to get to (and closer) during the winter. We'll see.
I will continue to add here as I remember bits and pieces of this meeting with Dr. Cooper.
On the next pages, I would like to tell you about the research study I got "sweet talked" into, LOL!
