I love relaxing in the bath too! I wonder how long after the lumpectomy I will be able to bath and not have to cover the wound? I rang the breast nurse today with questions and she said I'd been doing my homework! I said no, it's all the women on BCNA who are educating me - and supporting me! She was thrilled. I told her about bras and went to the the chemist to get the anaesthetic throat lozenges. I also asked if I could have a couple of weeks to get ready mentally and around the flat and she will ask the surgeon tomorrow. I still see the anaesthetist, nurse and physio tomorrow anyway. I did book a 5 night cabin on the beach up the coast in the wee hours of the morning. Hoped my dad could come too but okay to veg out on my own. I just cancelled it as really don't have the energy for the drive - 3.5hrs. Not a long one but suddenly it felt too much. Dad also couldn't go as he has a glaucoma appointment next week, which I want to take him to. He didn't seem too keen too start with so maybe tired. He's of the mind that you shouldn't drive on long weekends due to the carnage on the roads ... sigh! Seems to have forgotten we always went caravanning on long weekends as kids. I think I might be a bit short tempered with these things at the moment.
