thank you lovely ladies once again for the ongoing support, encouragement and understanding xxxx
the debridement procedure went well last week - although it was a long day with admission at 11.30 and we got "out" at 7pm.......
I felt great the next day - was up bright and early and surprised by the lack of pain (a bit of a sharp sting at times along the incision line) but otherwise good. I even was out at my local coffee shop at 9.30 the next morning catching up with a few friends....
then sunday I crashed - felt so tired and not well.....got the most awful night sweats blah blah blah and on Monday my right breast was horribly red (but not any warmer than the left), tight and painful......so back to the PS on Tuesday for review. She felt it was healing well, no infection, but definitely irritated from where she flushed out around the implant with betadine and saline in theatre.......she noted that I had been on the same antibiotics for the last 3 courses, so felt it was time to mix it up a little......personally I was not a happy camper walking away with a script for my 5th course of antibiotics in 5 weeks, but sucked it up and put my trust in my dr.......and bought some more inner health plus, some voltaren anti-inflammatory tablets and some mega vitamin C +zinc tabs !!!
by Thursday night I felt soooooo much better......no more night sweats, sleeping better and waking earlier (as in before 10 am!!). Again today - I felt a little more brighter and had a little more energy - and not feeling sick.....woo hoo!!! fingers crossed it stays this way :)
So back to PS for another review next Monday, and then I finally get to see the oncologist next Friday , which takes me to 6 weeks post op.....I can't believe how fast that time has gone now....... once again I say thank you to this wonderful community - being able to share my worries, concerns, frustrations and tears with others who really understand has been the best medicine of all xxxx
I hope you are all well and continuing to move forward in your journey too xxx
Hugs and love
Sally xxx
