Going Solo
So, my reconstruction operation is this coming Monday 27th May, and yep...Im going alone...
Feeling pretty crappy about it all to be really honest... just wondering how other people have got through all this alone...if anyone has had to?
Admitting myself to hospital on Monday morning, and there won't be anyone there when I wake up, then i'll get myself back on a plane a few days later and fly home alone.

Hey girls
Just to give you an update on Tania. You know how she was worried she was going to be doing it on her own. When she woke up after her surgery and out of recovery. She had 3 of us lovely BCNA pink sisters to be there for her.
She was quite perky (excuse the pun lol) in herself of which we were all surprised even herself as she has not had a good history in the past with anaesthetics. We took her some flowers from BCNA and chatted for a while. Her lovely precious friend Miss Kristy was going to spend the day with her today when she comes out of hospital. She will fly home soon.
I was happy to see her looking so well at the time. We want to wish her a speedy and uncomplicated recovery. She is young and beautiful with a lovely family and her whole life ahead of her to enjoy.
We wish you all the very best Tania, stay in touch. Chris and I would love to see you and/or Miss Kristy when you are in Perth next. Look after yourself precious.
Lots of love always, xoxoxoxo

That is good to know Chris. I feel like i have a bra full of sand paper! I only have one expander and it is an odd shape with a bit poking out making an odd lump on my breast. Like a corner or something. Those comfy slippers are looking better all the time!! I can't wait!!
Cheers,
Jillian

Hi Again, I have posted on your latest blog and then found this one. You poor girl. I know the other day I had to go to get the first fluid put into my expander and my husband could not come. I was fine until I got into the doctors rooms and then burst into tears. I find that when I am in situations like this one, and there have been quite a few since my diagnosis, that I keep in mind all the other poor girls that seem to be going through way more than i have. It helps keep me strong!
Have you been in contact with the McGrath foundation. They have a database of qualified breast nurses for support on the website. I contacted them before my mastectomy and the breast nurse was in contact with me within less than 24 hours.
Good luck, I will be thinking of you on Monday. You can do this, you have come this far, you are on the homeward bound for those super model breasts!!! That is what I am telling myself anyway!!
Take care, and take up the offer of the other girls on this blog, you can never have too many friends!!
