Hi Tina,
You are doing just fine. I had a bilateral mastectomy with implant/ expanders( the sort that don't need exchanging) on the 24th Oct. It has taken me 6weeks to really start to feel better.
I think it's amazing you are only taking pain killers at night. You will know within yourself how you will go at work. I sit here now and can't believe the difference a few weeks makes ....it seems to take a long time to heal but it's fantastic to look back and see how far you've come.
Good luck with it and be kind to yourself.
Sue
