Ten days post-op. All went well (so I thought) until a sharp pain started just below my left underarm last Thursday (one week post-op). I dismissed this as a muscle strain until today, since it won't go away. On call PA believes it is pericarditis and gave me Colchicine. If it doesn't resolve by tomorrow morning (highly unlikely) I have to make arrangements to get to the surgeon's office/hospital.
My luck never ends...
Marie Myers A pothole in the Road of Recovery… Hopefully the colchicine will do the trick. Hang in there!

Rebecca J Kevin that’s tough. Seems we’re susceptible to having recovery being up and down, especially these early days. Hang in there.
Valerie Allen Sorry to hear that, Kevin. In the long run it will be a blip but doesn’t seem that way now.
Deena Elani Kevin, you got through the hardest part. This is temporary. Hang in there!
J Alexander Lassally Also did this with Colchicine for the same reason. It really does help, so my best wishes.

Patricia Miller I was diagnosed w/ pericarditis after my first OHS. Unfortunately, my treatment was delayed because my symptoms were dismissed. Colchicine x 3 mos. without any trouble. Tolerated it well. Hopefully your pain will fade as the colchicine does it's job. It is frustrating. You've been through a lot.

Sue Maize I was wondering how you were doing Kevin—really sorry to hear about this setback, but you’re hearing from those who’ve been there and understand. Not nice at the time though. Keep reaching out, the support is here and we’re all with you! Praying for you! 🙏🏻❤️🩹

T-minus one day. To add to my stress, my HVAC (which is in my attic) has a drain line that leaked onto my ceiling. Fortunately, I have a friend coming today to at least stop additional damage, but I'll have to jump on getting someone out as soon as I get back home.

Sue Maize Do you live alone? I know what that’s like, and it’s hard to get everything arranged so you can just focus on your surgery. I pray no more of these pesky complications and that this one will get resolved quickly. Try not to stress—the ONLY thing that matters is your health right now. Let the other stuff go, as hard as I know that is. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
My luck never ends...
