Welcome, Mike!
Since it has only been three days since your surgery, it's no wonder there's still swelling. Give it time. Even after the swelling subsides, you'll feel a healing ridge and numbness near the incision, where nerves were severed, for several months or longer.

This year, I recognize my 10th cancer anniversary by joining Team LIVESTRONG for RAGBRAI, a weeklong, 406-mile bicycle ride across Iowa.
