Today I had a Mastectomy
That subject line is very hard to write and even harder to comprehend that it applies to me. I love my breasts and am not happy that now there is only one.
Anyway, I have had very little pain, in fact the drip injection site is giving me more grief that the mastectomy and aux clearance side!
Morphine on tap. I was very uncomfortable with the thought of morphine as I have never had it before, I was encouraged to use and and am currently pain free. I have used it twice so far.
And I've only cried twice so far!!! I think I am doing really well 😀. Had about one billion hot flushes though...
Take care everyone. Back to my book 'Boots to Bliss' who knows maybe I will take (part of) that walk...morphine talking methinks LOL.

- @LIttleBlueWren Oh noes! Well, enjoy the 'rest'. Hope you're feeling better soon. K xox
- Looks like the BC Rollercoaster has arrived at my door. Last night I had a temp (38.8), my partner declared that he was taking me to hospital and here I am with an infection on antibiotics sitting in a hospital bed.
Silver lining: this bed is super comfy, the nurses are just wonderful and I just had yummy fresh fuit salad.
Laughing not crying 😀
Have a great day all. - @kmakm I wouldn't want to try hide under those lacy ones. It would be like having a veil. Funny lady 😍
- @kmakm
have you been peeking over my back fence? You just made me laugh, a great big belly laugh.
Thankyou. - @Blossom1961 How about these?!
- @kmakm Not sure they are big enough. I need a pair to reach over my head. Much easier to hide that way. 🤗
- @kitkatb @Blossom1961 I've just washed a pair, I'll get them off the line and pop them in the post for you... ;)
- @kitkatb where do I find new big girl knickers please? Mine have worn out in the past six months and everyone on this forum seem to have a never ending supply 😜
- Thanks @"Kiwi Angel" Have just spoken with the BC Nurse in Townsville and she said to get my local hospital to take it out this arve going on the fluid output so here goes. Gritted teeth. Its all good I'll just pull my big girl knickers up. :)
- @kitkatb my first drain removal was not painful just felt weird but the second one was a horror and I still cringe when I think about it. Everyone has different experiences - there are some ladies on here where they have just fallen out. Hopefully your experience is pain free xo
