surgery is in less than 4 hours..
Hi Ladies
Just a short post as I am about to head off to hospital for my mastectomy and reconstruction. Will hopefully get back online in a day or so depending on how I feel. Apparently I wont be ...
Hi Kazzi!
What a long week it has been! Had surgery on the Friday afternoon (admitted around 11 am, surgery was around 1.30 pm, recovery i think round 8-8.30pm, ward 11 pm)...long day. Arrived home yesterday (sat 20th june/surgery friday 12th june). Breast a little swollen and sore, but its the abdomen that is most sore and uncomfortable. I had a TRAM FLAP recontruction and the wound/scar is from one side to the other - this i did not realise! I suppose you dont really realise what your abdominal muscles do until something like this happens...you cant walk a long way, it hurts generally, you shufle along like an old person (haha) and restricted in lifting and carrying things..eek.
Do you think that lying on my side would be okay? Its uncomfortable lying on your back.
cheers
