    Having a sad day today and dont really know why.

    Went to practice nurse yesterday and got my dressings changes, she dident bother putting one back on my boob as its looking so good, re-dressed the node one and told me to get myself some Arnica to help with the brusing as it is quite severe.

    Still have this annoying 'thing' in my armpit which is uncomfortable rather then painful but think thats whats getting me down…
