Reconstruction

I am right this moment in hospital day 11 waiting to see if I can go home with a drain. Just like your photo. I had a bilateral mast and diep recon Friday 12 April. 14 hrs. This has been a traumatic week, extremes of emotions and physical challenges. This last few weeks I have had plenty of "why me" moments. But I'm healing ok so far, to read Mechelle that you are having constant drainage problems is a worry. And now stitching coming undone? What are they putting this down to? I have been on this path since June 2012 and feel really over it. I can't imagine how low you must get. I feel really robbed of my healthy life and body sometimes. People keep saying I will get back to normal, but I know I won't, or can't. I know it's only 10 days since to op, and the swelling needs to go down, but it will still look weird. I just feel really sad sometimes, so does my hubby. Sorry you have caught me on a down time, but I'm supporting you in that I agree this is all just crap and unfair. Xxxlouie
