Hi,
Thanks to all of you who wished me all the best for my bi lateral masectomy.
Well its been hell since the day of surgery !!!
When I came out into recovery the pain drugs were not working an...
It sounds like you've had a really bad run Michelle! I was lucky enough to avoid the infection so can't give you any help on that I'm afraid....Those nurses and your hospital experience sounds awful! That is the last thing that you need when you are dealing with breast cancer!! Hopefully if you have to go back into hospital they will be nicer to you next time....
I did find that I had to lie on my back for about a month after I had my op though because of the expander. It was really painful lying on my side so I know what you are going through there! I found that if I hugged a pillow on my front it helped a lot. Maybe you could give it a go and see if it helps you??
I hope your infection clears up soon - its sounds really nasty!
Take care and try to get some rest,
Louise x
