Two things really struck a cord with me: I HATE shivering and I HATE wearing a bra! The shivering is obvious but the bra thing is strange. It not only bothers my back but it is really bothersome on my ribs. I still have a pronounced ribcage and it tends to be sensitive. When I walk in the door after work, I leave a trail from the door to the closet: purse, keys, shoes, socks or hose, watch, shirt, pants, bra. I just can't wait to put on my lazy pants and a big T-shirt!

feeling hardware
I am not sure if what I am feeling in my back is hardware or not. When I lift my shoulders my traps and romboids feels as though they move as one piece up and down, as though they are attached to something and it just feels sooo weird. I can't really even describe how it feels. I just hope with time that when it heals it will start to feel normal. It doesn't hurt it is just weird!Susan
