Post L) mastectomy.
Just wondering. If you've had a one side mastectomy. How long were you in hospital for? How many drains did you have and how long were they in for?
Well you ladies are amazing. I spent 5 days in hospital post op and left with a drain insitu, that I have now had for nearly 2 weeks. I am miserable and uncomfortable and have been in so much pain. This entire experience has be damn awful. If I get cancer in my other breast. I'd rather die.
I have been trying not to stretch or move too much. But my entire left side just feels SO tight and the drain is freaking painful. If it moves it's SO sore. I haven't been able to sleep but flat on my back, under my arm pit is SO sore, yet numb also. Weird.
All in all this has not been a good experience. I'm never going through this again. I seriously would rather take the chance of dying.
