Yikes!

Last night, my friend Natalie came to visit.  As we were just getting comfy and ready to solve the world's problems, the most extreme, burning type pain shot down the inside of my left arm, where my non-existent bicep would be.  I'm assuming it has something to do with my auxillary node dissection. It happened about 3-4 inches away from the node dissection incision, which is just under where my left breast and armpit meet.  The pain probably lasted a good 15-20 seconds but was so intense, it knocked the wind out of me! When the pain subsided and I was able to look at my arm, I expected to see my skin gashed open or something... But there didn't appear to have any trauma in that area, at least looking on the outside.  I wasn't putting any strain on my arm at the time, either.  Any thoughts?  My gosh, I pray that pain doesn't happen again!  

Perhaps the pain came because I pushed it a little too hard today.  My mom, Richard and I took Mase trick-or-treating at a Trunk-or-Treat that one of our local grocery stores set up.  I so desperately wanted to go so I could hear him giggle and watch him squeal in delight...  I hurt.  I hurt a lot right now, and one of the few things that trumps the pain is watching my sweet Mase play and giggle.  

I love this picture!  You see this giant TMNT mask but if you look just a little more, you can see the sweetest little brown eyes starring back at you.
