Every Little Twinge and Itch...

I'm not normally a hypochondriac, but I'm currently suffering from questioning every little itch and twinge in my recovery. While in the hospital, my Dr told me to be aware of any new pain, and to ask myself if doing a certain activity two days ago yielded that pain. Another factor is that I have five significant incisions, plus a drain site. All of those were cut all the way through my skin and fat tissue to provide space for instruments. The Dr. also informed me that each of those incision sites has incised nerves that will twinge, tingle and possibly cause pain as they grow back together. I've been having some pain in one of my incision sites, but I can tell its coming from deep inside rather than from the skin surface. I initially thought it was no big deal, then began to have "daymares" of thoughts of blood clots and other such anxiety-producing issues. Thankfully I have a very medical family, including a sister who is a post-op nurse. I'd say I'm averaging two calls a week to her to make all my twinges and whatnot seem normal. So far, she's not worried. That means I'm not worried. Until tomorrow morning, when I stretch and feel the pain again.
