Counting down to 14 Feb

Im starting to get rather antsy in the lead up to 14 Feb. Not sleeping...groggy in the morning. Wish it was done and dusted. Ive been cleaning out cupboards, a sure sign that Im off to adelaide.

The positive is that I get to spend time with my son (its his birthday 14Feb) and we havent had a birthday with him for 4 years. Hope he doesnt get too upset seeing me after the op looking like a washed out rag.

Going to Portland to stay tonight. Mini vacation to take my mind of it. Times like this you really appreciate your job cos it keeps the mind busy.

    Hi Danielle, I thought I had thrown out my zonta cushion in anger one day, but I found it in the bottom of the cupboard and am using it again. Obviously they were designed by a woman, great little idea.

    I had a great mini vacation, came home took 1/4 sleeping tablet and slept like a babe. Back to work today feeling better.

    Thanks for holding my hand from afar

    Ann xoxo

    Hi Ann,

    Isn't it funny how we clean when we know change is ahead!! You will be ok. It is not all that bad and they have good pain meds now so it is manageable. Everyday got better than the last after my mastectomies.

    Thats great that you get to spend some time with your son too. I am sure that he will just have love and admiration for his washed out rag, LOL. No seriously though this time is about you and everyone will be very supportive i am sure!!

    Have you called Zonta International? You can get a cushion for under your arms to provide comfort after surgery, if not get your breast care nurse to chase one up for you.

    Hope you get some sleep and enjoy your mini vacation. Much love Danielle xx
