Hi Brenda, gosh that's quick.I was in for 3 days with my mastectomy.I had strong painkillers the next day and was still on a drip.I could hardly get out of bed! My blood pressure was abit low (blood loss) and I felt light headed.My dressing and drain was checked frequently for any bleeding.So don't be disappointed if you have to stay abit longer- it would be in your best interest.Best wishes and hugs for Monday.xx
