1 week since mastectomy

I am back!!! I could not wait to come back to the computer to say hi to all of you and to let you know that I made it ok. I got expanders at the same time of the surgery. I still have the drains--they will remove these on Friday, hopefully. I still feel pain mainly at night when the house gets cooler but the pain medicine does its job. My husband has been a wonderful nurse in charge of my drains! My mom is also doing a little better, even though she will need a lot of physical therapy for her broken arm, once it heals.
Lots of love for all of you!!!

Glad you are back with us... Sounds like you are dealing with this like a trooper... the Beast so hates it when you face him with courage....

Take Care... God Bless...

Good Wishes for both you and your mother.

So glad to hear that you got through the surgery and that you are doing okay! My husband was in charge of my drains, too, and it was a real relief. Good to hear about your mom, too. You both will get through these hard times together. Keep posting!

Sounds like you're doing well. Must be a husband thing about the drains--it's nice to have a loving soul around to help out.

Great to hear from you. You sound as though you are doing so well. Left the beast in a freezer in a lab. Great. Now you can get on with your life.

Hugs.

Hi,
Congrats. 3 weeks here for me. I took care of my drains although hubby and sister, who is a Nurse Practioner said they would...LOL. Anyhow congrats.

I had a mastecomy almost 3 weeks ago, and got my drains out on the 22nd. My husband and daughter took care of them for me. I am really glad they are out. I am feeling pretty good right now. Hope you are feeling better. Take care.
