Diep surgery recovery
hi everyone I’m having double mastectomy and diep reconstruction in about 3 weeks and I was wondering if anyone could give some insight into recovery and how they managed once at home from hospital ...
@"Kiwi Angel" So far so good. They seem pretty good but there's a long way to go. They're still very swollen, and the skin is too, from lymphatic drainage issues. It takes a while for the fluid to work out where to go. My right foob is lumpier & harder and there's still bruising. At this point I'm OK with them but I'm reserving judgement.
