Hi Michelle, thinking of you today. Helen has some really good points, and I fully agree with the pillows bit. I bought one of those posture pillows, ( or boomorang pillow ). They are good for side support while sitting. I also has a script for Tamaze sleeping pills, as they were a help as I had to get use to sleeping sitting up at first which is very foreign. You do get use to it, and I did it for close to 3 months, as I was having expanders as well, and side sleeping wasn't something I could do for a long time. I can now sleep pretty well on my side, though I am still conscious of them, and I had my silicone implants 3 months ago. The bag for the drains is great, and both of mine have been provided by the hospital. If you get a choice, a shoulder bag arrangement works better than the draw string type. With the draw string type you will need to have jeans with belt loops to hang them from, but with the shoulder bag it doesn't matter. Look forward to hearing from you when you are recovering. Love Chris xx
