Mastectomy blues

They are horrible when they are scratchy Blos. Don't be too worried about taking the tramadol, you shouldn't need them once the drain comes out and they are prescribed for a reason. Mxx

Hello @JulieSav sending you a private message

@Zoffiel I am handling the drains not too badly but the one in my anxillery is causing a lot of pain inside. I can actually feel where it is and it rolls. I have to get up at midnight to take a tramadol due to the pain and then up at 4 again but I won't take another. Panadol are a waste of time.

You've both been running on adrenaline for quite a while--you only take so much of that. Try not to do too much either mentally or physically for the next week or so; you are not going to do yourself any favours by pushing too hard. The world will wait.
Tit lopping is hard work and the few days beforehand are just awful. You are in a better place than you were last week (TF for that) so take the opportunity to take it easy. The drains are just digusting, but you can view them as a physical anchor that absolves you from the responsibility to get out and about unless you want to. Mxx

@Blossom1961  & @JulieSav   ... wishing you both the best in your recovery.    SO glad the 'funny posts' give you a bit of a giggle .... big hugs coming your way from me xxxxx

All the best xx

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

@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.

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.

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

No...just not ambidextrous with the weapons!
