Mastectomy blues

Sending a big cyber (((hug))) Blossom. Don't forget, aside from the mental shock of losing your breast or breasts, you have just had major surgery and the anaesthetic too. Your poor body has been sliced and diced, blood lost and the drugs used to keep you under all combine to cause a massive shock to your body. Give yourself time to mourn your loss, and give yourself time to adapt to a different body. Be kind to yourself, and remember, it will get better. Your new tribe here will always be here to support you, hold your hand (albeit electronically), and to cheer you on. 

Thank you @AllyJay it has been a yoyo week. SoldierCrab was wicked and made me laugh. She was very funny in one of her other posts this morning. 

There are quite a few members who will do that to you. A bit of humour, especially black humour at times, is just what we need to dust ourselves off and keep plodding along...

Remember - the Amazons were supposed to cut theirs off so they didn't get in the way.  You're a warrior, now!

@Sister Does that mean I am only half a warrior? 🤔 

No...just not ambidextrous with the weapons!

I was warned that that booby blues thing would happen. Not fun but it passes. Be kind to yourself my Geelong friend. K xox

I am day 3 post mastectomy here also and today is the worst I have felt mentally.  Pain is manageable but everything else just sucks today.  Also have this new drain canister and every time I see it just about makes me puke.

@JulieSav It is awful isn't it! Mine only lasted for a day but I forced myself to keep looking for the funny side of things all day. I also looked through the Past posts in Friday Funnies, Naughty but Funny, and one of the others (I can't remember the name). They helped pick me up a bit. Fortunately my hubby was out for the day as he wouldn't have coped very well with my blues. Sending a big snuggle hug your way.

Hang in there @JulieSav. It gets better. Big hug, K xox
