sorry have been unwell, i am a size 12, they are very even and for the haematoma, i opted not to go into surgery again, as i had already been in twice and was to drugged, so as i had no pain there on the left side, they opened me up on the ward and the nurse came and drained it every half hour for the next 10 hours and i just had to lie very still, so watched the TV all night, but all was good by the time the surgeon came back and stitched me up.was not an easy decision, but had enough of operating theatres. I had over 700mls drained, it did make a right royal mess. I got cramps, but as i was still in hospital, the nurse showed me how to massage the site, it made it more bearable, hope you are well Chris,cheers
