Can't be bothered with a new boob
Hi, being a secondary breast cancer travellor, getting a reconstruction is not a priority, if there are no nerves, body of a weather beaten 50 yr old, I'd rather have money to travel or a sports car ...
The District Nurse has been again today to check, record and replace my bag. I am sooooo looking forward to having the drain removed on Tuesday (except for the pain I am told comes with the excitement).
The night before leaving hospital I was happy to see only 40 mls but then it went up to 190 and today 100 mls. The nurse will re-dress it tomorrow as the bandages are quite sticky, therefore uncomfortable.
I guess with having had three surgeries in 4 days I am doing OK. People are surprised I am up and about but I do think it is better to do things as per normal, within reason and pain boundaries.
I am doing my exercises as well as normal run of the mill things as best I can. The cough from the third operation is a nuisance and I do get short of breath but I won't let it stop me !
Hope you are also doing OK.
