Tips for after surgery care

So pleased your ok @4Coco. Re your dressing maybe give the breast care nurse or dr a call to check.

My dressing came was removed the morning after my surgery  but I had to leave the non water proof dressings on until they feel off.  We all have different wounds and care types so best to check.

Rest up, be kind to yourself. Big hugs to you xx

@Cath62  @arpie  @Julez1958     Hi ladies  Just wanted to let you know my surgery went well  -  feeling some discomfort at night but really nowhere near the level I'd expected.   The waterproof dressing  -  do I keep it in place until the follow up - I remember the nurse telling me ok to have light shower but can't recall how long it has to remain covering the wound?

Thank you @arpie

All the best for your surgery, @4Coco xx  I hope you won't be in too much pain or discomfort & that you feel as relieved afterwards, as I was xx
