Valve Replacement Surgery - Two Steps Forward & One Step Back!

Thought my recovery was going great, but went to bed with extreme pain under my right rib cage and below my sternum. I think that I might be retaining fluid in my chest area. I haven't had this degree of chest pain since I left the hospital so I'm a little concerned. Took two pain pills, which didn't really knock the pain.

Also the veins in my neck continue to pound so that I can count my heart beat by watching the veins in my neck.

Will be seeing, Dr. Blake tomorrow for another follow-up visit. I have every confidence that she will find out what is causing the new pain in my chest. She will also be able to answer my questions about the bongo display in my neck.
