3 days post op

Well it is now 3 days post op and I have had my lumpectomy and my sentinel lymph node removed. My arm and breast is sore but keeping myself topped up with neurogenic and panadol. I haven't needed the endone at home. My hospital stay was pleasant I drained a little too much so that is why I stayed the extra night. Today I went for a chest, abdo and pelvic ct scan which came as a surprise so it has me thinking why as I was not briefed about having one of these so close to the surgery. I also am having a bone scan on Thursday so it is all happening. Tomorrow getting the dressing checked and the breast nurse will be reprimanding me if I haven't done my exercises! lucky for me I have been a good girl.
