Thanks for all the support. I put my girl panties on and went through with it. All went well. Although from what the surgeon was saying my anatomy was a bit 'challenging'. Wasn't as simple as we thought it would be. Had a general but it still took over an hour to get it out thanks to a wonderfully twisted artery which I never knew I had but was apparently the reason it was so hard to have it inserted in the first place. You girls that had a local are brave as. I have an indentation in my chest but they said that in time it will fill in. Lots of swelling and bruising today. Can't lift my arm above my shoulder yet. They took a biopsy of the muscle which he tells me is routine. Scar is about 6 cms long, and as soon I as i can I will get the bio oil on to that. Also surprised that I was told to refrain from driving, raising my arm to wash my hair, or lifting anything heavy for a week. All because of the stitches they put in the artery. Anyway over and done with now, time to move on.
Best wishes to all.
