040901 - Millie began feeling discomfort from surgery last Friday on 051021,
040902 - ref SDS 1 0001, which until today, has been surprisingly free from
040903 - pain.  She expressed feeling a physical loss from a "big hole" on her
040904 - chest, but also an emotional feeling about this loss, even though a
040905 - very wide mastectomy brings a chance to avoid relapse, as discussed
040906 - with the surgeon on 051021. ref SDS 1 EG5L
040908 -      ..
040909 -     [On 051027 not enough time for doctor to present guidance nor
040910 -     orientation on dealing with physicial and emotional trauma of
040911 -     major surgery. ref SDS 3 EM4O
040913 -  ..
040914 - The surgucal wound is now continuously sensitive to stretching,
040915 - turning, yawning, sitting up.  Millie feels a strong awareness of a
040916 - major loss of her body, which previously was not felt.
040918 -  ..
040919 - Today, Millie feels much more acutely the skin stretched to close the
040920 - surgical incision.
040922 -  ..
040923 - She has been sleeping for much of the day this past week, as expected
040924 - for recovering from major surgery.  We might try to go for a short
040925 - walk over the weekend.

041302 - complained of general ill feeling since the operation on 051021.

041305 - She cites no specific area of pain, and does not discuss the surgical
041306 - incision and the stretched skin, per above.
041308 -  ..
041309 - Since we are eating dinner, afterwards we will take her temperature,
041310 - blood pressure, and pulse.  Her forehead seems warm, but could be my
041311 - immagination.
