Subject: RE: BS: Prayers & Healing Thoughts 4 the P-Vine
Well, a little good news... Kinda...

After I left for NC yesterday the folks from UVa called the P-Vine... One was from pain management and the other from physical therapy...

She actually drove herself to UVa this morning to meet with the PT lady... The PT lady said that she was "locking up" in the pectoral region from the shrinkage around the scar... Said about 20-30% of women who have a mastectomy have this... Been nice if someone had told us this!!!

So, the P-Vine is going to do 2 sessions a week and the PT lady says 3 weeks and she'll be fine in terms of pain... The P-Vine said she felt fine driving home today...

Me??? I'm beat... 15 hours behind the wheel of my box truck since yesterday morning, plus unloading at least 4000 pounds of tools... I might have to go see that PT lady myself...
