Thanks everyone.
I came home on Thursday morning, i have been sleeping a fair bit & still on endone. The hospital gave me Targin and Endone along with panadol osteo for pain.
Drain is still in, so far the fluid is still around the 200ml mark - although tonight it's only up to 95ml & has started to become more yellowish instead of the pinkish-red.
sorry ladies, but I need to have a bit of a whinge... just because.. & i'm feeling emotional.
i am at the stage that i'm sick of having this damned thing attached to me, i'm sick of the sore arm & sore spot where the drain goes in. I sick of being tired most of the time! I'm sick of not being able to drive my own damn car! sick of hot flushes, Sick of not being able to do everything for myself! gahhhh! I hate feeling so damned helpless!!!
I rang my super fund & no, i don't have any income protection insurance, i rang my car loan mob & apparently none there either - i had to hold back from ripping into the people on the other side of the line... i know it's not their fault, so i held back.. life can just be so unfair at times!
My nipple was itchy today - even though it's numb it felt itchy... phantom sensations i am assuming, from what i read it's not unusual and not a problem. There's not sign of infection, etc so all okay.
Sunday was a better day, my boyfriend got here early-ish, i dragged him to bed & he most definitely made me feel better about all of this, and made me feel still desirable. He is wonderful & i am so lucky to have met such a wonderful man.
