Came out of hospital on Wednesday at 2.00pm. Was admitted at 07.30 on the 2 Jan. Went to surgery at 9.00 and was in for 8 hours. Doped up on morphine which is fab by the way. Managed to eat my tea and keep it down. They took me off the morphine the next day (sods) and had to make do with paracetamol (bit of a difference there). Found it very difficult to sleep due to the discomfort in my back, side and front and all the noises in the hospital. Even sleeping tablets didn't work. I had a quick peak and the surgeon has done a brill job matching it to my other boob. Which hopefully when the swellings go down the two will match but he has said if I am not happy with the final result he will do then again so I am happy. All my drains are now out (what a horrid feeling that is when they are taken out - you can feel them all moving about being dragged under your skin as they remove them!!) I have no stitches at all as I have been glued together - great. Was talking to a lady who had hers done a couple of years ago and she had new nipples tattooed on and she showed me (don't ask) and the results were amazing. So I am going to treat myself in summer to two new tattooed ones so I can feel and look "normal" again. Thanks to everyone who sent their kind vibes and hugs they really seemed to work. The next hurdle is the results of the lump that was removed in two weeks time to find out if I need chemo or not as the next part of treatment. Sasha (dog) was so pleased to see me when I got home it made it all worth while. But the cats and horse just looked at me and carried doing what they were doing. And there was me worrying about them all.................
