Came Home Today
Day 4. Has anyone had problems with shoulder pain, or pain when liquids especially cold ones hit your tummy? It is almost a stinging sensation. I hope it goes away. The first 2 days were the worst. After the 3rd day I could move around better. I guess it has also to do with my age and arthritis issues.
