Hi all
Well I have had the surgery, have over 60 stitches in my chest and had a pico pump fitted after surgery, all was good in the hospital (stayed 7 days). Since being home have had pico pumps but ooze got to much so on went a vac via at last weeks check up. Still alot of ooze that has got mucusy but they are not concern as I was told over the phone (again not listened to) but getting use to it. Back again on Friday 4 May for removal of the stitches (not looking to that). This pump is ok but the tape on it is causing some blistering under it that is quite painful but I will put up with it. My breast care nurse at the hospital (who is nicer than most there) is on holidays for 2 weeks so not sure who I will get to take out the stitches as the surgeon won't do it as he said he would hurt me so nurses will do. Just hoping this ooze stops (no one can tell me why there is so much ooze as there wasn't this much in the hospital) so I can back to normal life and back to work so finances are better. Just sitting at home doing nothing as I have been since October 2017.
Thanks again to all that listen. xx
