fabulous
Well my blog was non existant. I know the words pain, hit by truck, extreme discomfort, bad back from sleeping in a curve, sleepless nights, more pain and lots of jabs must have been said to me but all I heard was new boob, you will love it and flat tummy. Boy was it a shock when I woke up on Friday night. I was very chipper as they were wheeling me in to the theatre area and I was cracking jokes and laughing but all that disappeared really fast. My surgeons and nursing staff were fantastic. I can not stop singing their praises. My chest is perfect and when I was telling them how happy I was yesterday I was sobbing..they must have thought "we have a right one here!" I could not be happier. At yesterdays doctor visit they all came (Breast surgeon, tummy surgeon, ward doctor and all the hangers-on) and when they sdaid I could go home there were more tears! And when Bob drove up to collect me...more again! I think I am all cried out now but they were all tears of happiness.
I would recommend this op as it is so confidence-boosting! Worth all the pain, although I did say to Bob on Saturday morning it was my worst decision ever. I had taken a notebook and pen in with me to jot down important points but they weren't used. I didn't like the sensation of the painkillers and I found that if I didn't move I was fine and didn't need anything. I think I hold the record for the least mount of painkiller after an operation and the nursing staff kept telling me I could use more, but I didn't want to.
I am home now and taking things easy. I have the world's best husband as my nurse and I am just so darned happy!
