Well, that all went very fast! I'm back at home after three days in hospital for right side mastectomy. Teams at POW and RWH were all outstanding, very kind and very caring esp recovery in RWH. Pain was/is manageable and the main annoyance is the single drain which 'catches' occasionally where it is embedded. The Zonta pillow provided by the breast clinic nurse is perfect for providing support for sleeping or a bit of pressure for the drain site which seems to help. I've not found the scar and site too confronting so far, certainly a new persona and body to accommodate, so that's a relief. I've been dozing and resting a lot, the sushi train of painkillers in hospital really helps and now just on 2 Panandol six hourly which is enough for any pain/discomfort. Onwards and upwards, and again thanks and good wishes to fellow travellers on this site, none of it is easy but company really helps!
