  • So glad all went well,  and you’re safely back home. Yes, the site is even more of a mess, some of my posts don’t appear yet some do, I don’t get notified when posts get into threads, (no I don’t get emails, never have) even with that little red number that appears, it’s frequently nothing to do with where/how I post and read.

    , it does ease but I found sleeping on the opposite side to my mx took quite a while, wearing a decent supportive night bra helped, I had a Sloggi. 

    Oh and , your mum really was beautiful but sorry your childhood was that difficult.

  • I so enjoyed reading your memories as they reminded me of so many shared events.  ...our shop was the Home and Colonial but purchasing items was the same. I remember when the first Tesco in the High Street with self service shelves came.  I was allowed to go and buy the odd item if we were visiting my grandparents who lived in a street at the back of the road. Today the shop is still there...it's a charity shop which gives you a clue how small it was. 

    .....I watched Princess Anne's wedding as a student and 2 years later when I got married ...on a shoe string...my dress from John Lewis' sale was based on the design. I paid £8 for a dress reduced from £75 but actually that was a fortune as I only earnt £96 a month as a teacher. After I retired I got £110 a day on supply!

    For us the big royal wedding was Princess Margaret's in 1960. There was only one tv in the road. About ten families crowded in to watch......black and white of course.

  • .....have you tried supporting your body and arms with soft pillows or cushions. I remember a furry heart just fitted softly under my arm and the support made sleeping on my back much easier.

  • Gander, like Lacomtekp I bought a knitted toy monkey sold in aid of the breast cancer department of the hospital and that was just soft enough and the right height to rest my arm on and give me enough support following my op.

  • I've got a V Pillow and did use that a bit initially. It'll be fine, just very restless most of the night. Least of my worries atm x

  • @gander have you tried a v pillow to support it helped me to sleep on back after MX .

  • Worked initially. Still very restless, hubby banished to spare room for time being so I can be restless in peace, also he snores like a train; always has 

  • Sorry you are so uncomfortable at the moment. It does ease in time.

    Has anyone else been put on Letrazole? I have had  such a sore moutth since I started taking it.

  • No, I just had the hot flushes and aches. Hope it improves for you
