I am preparing for a mastectomy in ten days time. I live alone and am very active and involved in my village and church. The thing is - I'm worried about coming home with a drain and not having anyone on hand to help me empty it. A silly worry I am sure, but there we are. You watch videos on YouTube and there's always someone there to hold the tube, or help with the manoeuvres: I will have plenty of day time help but overnight I will be on my own. Any advice gladly received!
The other strange thing is that I am SO tired - and I haven't had anything happen yet!! I fall asleep in the afternoon for an hour or so and sleep like a log at night. Still tired!
I am feisty, determined, and no way is this thing going to floor me - I will exercise, get fresh air, do everything you are supposed to do. But this whole issue of drains is bothering me. How daft is that?!!
