So, here's my gripe. I would have had the bilateral mastectomies over 5 years ago,Without even knowing about breast cancer genes, when I was first diagnosed with breast cancer but I would have to ha...
Hi Jenn!! How did you go??? I can't believe it's 5/10 already. You must be feeling a bit of relief by now?! I satyed in hospital from the Tuesday evening, night before the op, until the Wednesday afternoon, just over a week later. My Plastic surgeon said I could have gone home the day before but I wasn't ready. My kids and hubby were home sick and hubby had recently had a heart attack and the thought of sitting in a car for an hour to get home made me feel sick! There was only one BITCH (sorry) of a nurse who made me feel like I was being a bludger, When I asked if she could check my dressing where one of the drain sites was oooooozing, she told me that oficially I could be discharged so they wouldn't be checking it until just before I leave!!! I was so glad when she went off duty and my next nurse came in because it did need changing and I was once again made to feel that I wouldn't be judged and that what ever I decided was fine!
ANYHOOOOOOO, let me know how it all went. Thinkn of you. Where are you?
