Hi Sharona,
It's been interesting reading your diary thank you. I had DIEP reconstruction the right breast only just on 8 weeks ago now. All went well in the early part but having trouble with a small cavity under the breast and needing it dressed every couple of days, had hoped this wouldn't happen, also got an infection. Tummy also gave me grief in the middle but is much better now but still covered. Cavity has to heal from inside up of course and I get frustrated and emotional at this long haul. I am driving again and doing lots of walking around the farm but it is annoying that I can't get back to normal yet. Live in country Victoria and hoping that soon I can get rid of all these dressings. Wondered how you are going now?
