Freaking out about Mastectomy

Hi @Vallerina, What a rough time you have had and the worse bit is the stuff in your head. 

It is ok to be in shock to be in denial that is part of our coping mechanisms. 

1. what style of camping are you going on ? in a tent? in a caravan? in  a cabin ? those will all impact on how you feel about going away.... I had a double(bilateral) mastectomy back in October 2012 and I can say I didn't feel sick at all after surgery. I did have to take things easy.... NO driving etc for a few weeks. 
2. We all come out of surgery different to each other but with common symptoms .... I couldnt sleep on my side so I got a seating up pillow this style...https://www.shopstyle.com.au/browse?fts=bed+reading+pillow it helped mind you if you have only single mastectomy you might be able to sleep on the side you dont have surgery on... 
3. Be sensible and like Brenda5 said make sure you drink plenty of water to flush out the anesthetic out of your system. 
4. I know it is very hard to relax but try.... have you ever done mediation ? I have a lovely CD by Petrea King called relaxation that really helped me to let go and relax. 
5. Coming to terms with a diagnosis is hard be gentle on yourself. 
6. Do you have a breast care nurse
7. have you been given a My journey kit? 

Venting is totally acceptable here.... once you have vented you often can see the way through this maze .... We also get you we understand the frustrations and fears as we have been there. 

If you want any information or need to know where to get some support we can  help link you in to a support group etc. 

Hugs and energy to relax and let it happen as it needs to.
