Hello Jane,
Thanks heaps for all that helpful information. After hospital my first aim was to get home, but once I was home you feel quite alone with it all and the anxiety sets in with every pain, lump, bump and bruise. I had my first post op app last monday and despite all my worries (my right breast is quite bruised) the plastics doctor assured me it was all very normal and all looked good. I've picked up a bit since then. She also told me that the binder needs to be worn for 6 weeks.
Next monday it will be three weeks since my op. I have done a few small walks outside this week but it doesn't take long for my back to ache and my stomach to feel stretched and sore. I'm still getting very tired but not as bad as I was last week. Slowly but surely!
Thank you again for your help, take care Olivia :) x
