Hi Socoda,
you have a great positive attitude. I had my left mastectomy last Wednesday the 8/6/2016. I was allowed home yesterday. I bought some lovely new pairs of button front Pjs but in the end didn't use them in hospital. I found it easier to just wear the unflattering hospital gown. Especially with drains,nurses etc checking wounds. It is nice to be in new pjs now that I'm home though. I am one of the lucky ones and had my drain removed before I left hospital. The breast care nurse was lovely and also gave me a bag for the drain. I will donate it back as I won't use it.
Fear of the unknown was my biggest worry. Now I'm through the operation I realise it wasn't as bad as I feared.
Hope your upcoming operation goes well and you gave a speedy recovery.
