One week and two days to go.....

Less than one minute read time.

So its one week and two days to go.... everytime i think about it my tummy does somersaults, i get the runs and i panic.. all natural reactions though eh??

Im still at work (i come off this friday - haveign to build up flexi to take the Monday and Tuesday off though....) but its all i can think about.

Someone kindly on here suggested having a "good bye boobies" night, so im doing this on saturday, bit random, but i think id regret it if didnt do something you know.  They have been part of my life for 30 years, and they are part of me. I suppose its like having your leg taken off and replaced by some foreign leg - its not yours. 

Lots of thoughts are swimming round my head - am i going to wake up? is something going to go wrong? Am i going to like my new boobs? Am i going to recover ok? Will i be ok psychologically and emotionally???? i didnt take the news very well in feb - took a while to get my head round. 

What if i lose the small bit of self esteem that i have???

    hi and firstly try not to panic, i know easier said than done. I am all packed and ready to go into hospital later on today. my OP is booked for tomorrow. have to phone hosp at 4pm and then they will tell me what time i need to be in. am all packed and all ready. just doing dinner lol. its the mundane and everyday things that keep me grounded. am expecting to be in hospital for between 5 and 7 days. fingers crossed will be out sooner rather than later. have loaded up my kindle so hav plenty to keep my occupied. this will be my second op as had op on both breasts in june so all your fears are understandable as i had them all first time round. life after boobs??? not a clue will let you know when i get back home. good luck to you and take a deep breathe. i am sure that you will be fine. and will 1 day look back on this time and see it for what it is, just an inconvenience which we both had to go through.  love to you Dawn xxx
