Now to Heal

Yippee - surgery all done last Friday, new larger puppies are coming home to the farm with me and with a flat tum. Chemo & Rads all done from April to Sept. Path report today said was the best outcome!  Calls from the whole medical team all day. Hugs to them all for saving my life and helping me through.  Not to mention the amazing bcna for the preparation so needed. Big recovery ahead but overwhelmed with happiness. I’ve been singing through small procedures (Doe Rae Me Far So La Te Doe) and the medicos all sing along hahaha. Awesome

  • Day 7 - 3 of the 4 drains removed. Not sure when going home but no rush. Just going to take my time. Best thing I use everyday in bed is my travel neck pillow ring.  Then I do away with the hospital pillows that I find just a little to plump. And soft earplugs have been good. I don’t use them every night just when it’s busy on the ward. And my water bottle that goes everywhere with me lol!

    And some soft beanies as sometimes the aircon seems cool and as my hair has only started to come back my head gets cold.

  • What a feeling keep up that pain relief and move around.
  • Thank you for helping me get through to Cath . I love you ladies. I’ll post some before and after photos in the reconstruction section when I’ve got more energy. On Endone and Panadol atm. So far so good. Pain had been incredible but Day 6 is well under control. Had to work out the best ones for me.
