Hi Such is Life ... the button up PJ's are a must. Great idea. You might want to talk with your doctor about possible constipation and how to help avoid that. After my mastectomy surgery I was soooooo constipated from all the morphine etc, that they eventually had to give me an enema. You may be able to take something like Coloxyl, Movocol, Lactulose (spelling?) or other 'stool softener' and constipation helper following your surgery - worth asking the question I reckon. Drink lots of water and eat lots of fruit and fibre foods, such as prunes. Good luck with the surgery. Let us know how you get on when you are up to posting another blog. Cheers, Kym :)
