Ooh @kmakm I didn’t know there was belly button involvement in a DIEP flap! I haven’t researched it much yet, seeing that with almost certain radiation coming my way, my expanders will probs be my buddies for about a year.
I noticed in DIEP photos that ladies’ navals have been taped up and I wondered why? Now the big reveal!
I haven’t seen the bottom of my belly button since I was 9 months pregnant - how funny!
So glad to hear your appetite is up and your body’s processing all that smashed avo like it’s supposed to - smashed avo in hospital = Melbourne as definitely the most hipster city.
Weeping is so cathartic. I wish I could do more of it. Wanna hear a secret? I have not shed one tear since I was diagnosed. Actually that’s a lie - I did shed a tear or two of relief when I tore open the results of my staging scans in the car park and saw ‘no metastasis detected’ - so those were happy tears. But not one weep for me - and that’s NOT a good thing. I know that sooner or later it will all build up so much that it will come flooding out and woah anyone in the way. Letting it all out is so much better.
Sleep well and enjoy your last day in hospital tomorrow! Xxxx
