Change over time - whoop whoop
Well this is it.
Night before change over surgery to my softer breast prosthesis. We drove the 500k to Adelaide today, day after my sister's 60th birthday tea where I drank far too much red wine and ate a lot of deliscious food. I stayed up to hydrate and was feeling a bit squeemish and took a phenergan as I could feel a migraine coming on also. It worked. Nausea settled. Headache gone and a spectacular sleep ...well nearly the whole day, lol. Still catching up on drinks.
Goodbye to the Silicone shells filled with water that feel like plastic easter egg molds sewn into my chest.
I have got used to them surprisingly but am hoping for a little more comfort from my softees.
I'm last on the list so hoping my surgeon is feeling super fit. It's going to be a long day.

- Well done Kath!! Love the positivity & great smile! Here's to you for a speedy recovery and the your new look. Be proud X :smiley:
- Photos up in the reconstruction group now.
Great photo Kath - looking very pleased.
Yes, isn't it soooo cold in the pre-op/admissions area ?
Hope you remained warm, the personal massager on your legs did it's job and you had a restful sleep last night.
- Great news @primek Making me feel a little less anxious about my surgery tomorrow! So good you haven't needed any drains. Fingers crossed I am the same! Xx
- Nope...just looked up the code...it is a round but so far looks the same. Weird. Full projection...but just looks like the teardrop expander to me.
- Good on you @primek! So good to share x
- Been taking pics ready for reconstruction group
- Looking good, @primek. Wishing you a speedy and comfy recovery :)
- Restless sleep but feel fine. Have been out of bed since 7...my back kills me if I lay too long flat. So up, breakie, shower and so far only panadol required as this was very minor surgery to the last time round and No drains required ...woohoo as surgeon didn't need to fiddle. 48 hours in hospital just because of infection risk and new guidelines with tissue expanders. Looks like he stayed with teardrop shape as per expanders.
- Well done Kath! Look at you - fantastic!!!!
