Reconstruction

Hey Louise and Jillian and whoever else is listening!!

Well, its been just over 3wks now and its still NQR! The op went well, implants, the most painful bit was the suction on the drainage tubes lol. So was on AntiBiotics as a deterrent to any germs, in hospital draining for a week, came home over Easter and sprung a leak so to speak, the lymph fluid didnt know where to go so it came out the stitch hole on one breast and a drainage hole on the other side,, I leaked around the house, lol, over Easter and Wednesday went back into hospital.

More surgery which they flushed out the fluid which was starting to look a bit suss and another week was spent in hospital, but only 2 tubes instead of 4! Plus antibiotics of course. Felt good, came home,, doctors orders, "do nothing for a week", so didnt even make a cuppa tea!,, yes I have good hired help,lol. Changed bandages again Wednesday and noticed a leak, with a great deal of swelling under my arm,, (btw, several nurses said to me if I  was going to have trouble it would be the right one and how right they were!)

Wemt to local GP Friday, leaking more fluid by now and got more antibiotics. Now my stitches have come undone in 2-3 places and am going into see surgeon this afternoon, probably be drained --so love the idea of needles in my breasts lol.

So I guess I will keep you posted as to how this goes. 

When I got sick, I said 'why me' as we all did im sure, but a friend said, 'why NOT you', and I have kept that in mind, how special I am I was picked from 1-8 women for this task. But I have just known that I would have reco and it would be all good again, so its starting to get a bit emotional for me, as in 'wHY ME'? cos im ova it,,,,Is it too soon, 3wks in the grand scheme of things that started in Sep 2010?! Seems like it today sisters.

Any encouragement shall be gladly recieved and i will keep you posted

love and light to you/for us all
