Sunday Again

Where did March go? Gosh it's like having babies where each day turns into another, 16 days post first surgery but feeling my glute muscle/buttock area is screaming for attention! Pain killers are running out, drain still in. But it's looking promising for a removal for Monday I think.

Have started googling mastectomy side effects to explain how my shoulder area is so stiff and underarm is so sore, stabbing pains are nerves rejoining themselves (so I've read). It really would have been handy to be given some information about what to expect post mastectomy.

I received this from 1 little treasure:


And this from another treasure:


While I was in hospital, the administrator asked if I would contribute my story to their consumer brochure. I'm not keen, includes photograph, which I've been going wigless a bit more lately since having a long stint in hospital without it, plus I don't think my story is any more interesting than others I have met along the way. The only way I would consider is if it can help raise awareness for other 40-50 year olds in checking their breasts. I'll see how I feel I guess.

Plus some lovely gifts while in hospital, thank you to everyone who visited and broke my boredom....Heidi, Susie, Leanne, Mum and Dad, Carolyn, Sylvana, Tessie, Betty and Angela plus my little family coming and eating my chocolates. plus all of the messages and flowers, magazines and my Coles online fruit box from Tessie. One morning a nurse came to me and asked if I liked the food from the hospital or not, and in comes a trolley with a Coles online box full of fruit. The fruit was yummy snacking on throughout the day. Some beautiful flowers from my work, the Axion guys, Carolyn, john and the kids, Leanne and Susie, Endota spa voucher from Silvana, Angel of love from Kamilla - I was very spoilt. Some chocolate and cheeses, jams and sweets from Sonia :) yummy, pj's, mags and collection of things from Heidi, flowers from the Bookclub gals, cupcakes from Mia Faulkner, home cooked dinner from Susie and Lynda.....so many people to thank for supporting me and my family....not a day goes by that I don't give thanks for being so blessed :)
