Back home
That is the mastectomy over & done with, although I have been having trouble with the drains probably due to reaching the arm pull above the hospital bed, they seem to have settled down now I am home & only using the arm for the exercises I've been given. I am having a little pain today for the 1st time since the op, It feels like a dragging pain around the scar but this would probably be normal & am also leaking a little bit from the scar. I have to go back to the hospital on Sat/Mon/Wed/Fri for drain bottle change & will receive a physio appointment by mail to go to mastectomy physio sessions.
I was surprised that they let me home at lunch time the day after as I had a PM surgery. I can honestly say the procedure was not as bad as I thought it would be.
Now the waiting game begins for the path results of the node biopsies.
