Mastectomy blues
Day three after a mastectomy and I feel like I did on day three after having a baby. Baby blues and mastectomy blues must be best mates.
@socoda I will ask my home nurse to put extra tape on today. That makes sense.
@Sister Anything I put in my mouth at the moment blocks me up. The doctors have me on laxatives but they are barely working. I will speak to my BC nurse tomorrow as she is the only medical person who is concerned about it. I tried going off the laxatives but ended up in all kinds of pain even with all the high fibre foods and concoctions I was eating. Hence, ONE of the reasons I am hesitant to take extra pain killers. The doctor has me on a three week regime of high dosage laxatives. It is going to be so hard for my body to transition back to normal.
