I went in Friday and was welcomed by the teams. It's Monday night now so true to say the first few days are a blur. Fairly emotional, but pain has been really under control.
The breasts themselves seem great, the dressing is off the breast area and no support wear needed, tummy is a bit sore. The worst part right now is going to the loo, have been twice but with drains and other attachments it takes a good half hr.
I am lying here having a blood transfusion though so that's not great. But I will feel much less tired after that.
I'll report again in the next few days, I really didn't expect to feel so good, but I still have a way to go so shouldn't get ahead of myself.
