Double Mastectomy surgery on Thursday

Glad to hear it went well @Sharon01 Rest when you need to, go for walks, and make sure you do your exercises!

Hello @Sharon01 wishing you a very speedy recovery.  Take care of you

Hope you are continuing well, @Sharon01 - the anaesthetic may make you drowsy for a few days, too, so if you feel tired - allow yourself to nod off, even during the day.   

Take care, take it easy & all the best xx

@Sharon01 I hope you have "nursing" support at home. Not surprised that you feel weird. Do take great care of yourself. Try to walk around a little bit several times a day. Don't stint on pain relief. Eat well. Drink lots of water. Cry if you need to. Don't hesitate to express your feelings here. We all understand. xox Fran

Thanks for posting,  We have been thinking of you.  Good news. Keep up the good work and look after yourself.  Anne

Thanks all. The surgery went well. To my surprise I was released the following day. It has been 2 days since I was discharged and still feel weird. 

@Sharon01  - Hoping all has gone well with your surgery - make sure you keep pumping that pain killer button (if you have one) and taking your meds regularly, when offered!  

Make haste slowly ..... you'll be able to get back doing stuff 'as you are able'.

Rest up, take care (if you have the little pillows to help support your arms,
they are a great help.)  If not, ask your Breast Care Nurse about them!

Thinking of you  xxx

Hope it all went well @Sharon01 and that you are resting comfortably.  Take the painkillers, do the exercises when you're given the nod, and if your hospital has a garden (and the weather co-operates), ask your doctor if you can do you walking in that - beats the hospital corridors hands-down.

@Sharon01
Wishing you all the best. The lympth nodes hurt more than the breast. Mentally, everyone is different. But we are all in this together

@iserbrown You just made me laugh with that saying. We looked after my son in laws dog for a couple weeks. Big boofy thing. What is a glass door? What is a fence? All built to go through obviously.
