Welcome Jacalasorry the insomnia gremlin got you !
Tired Minionwoo well done on u/w bra. I wore one straight after surgery as being a G cup I needed support band wires nowhere near scar which was on top of breast . I only went into non wired for radiotherapy.
Sorry you are still finding sleep evades you Tiredminion. Well done on moving back to a wired bra. My scar is still very sore so that is a long way off for me.
My sleep has been terrible for months now. I fall asleep easily and sleep maybe 2, 3 hours and then wake up at 1am, then I struggle to get back asleep. Sometimes it takes me an hour, sometimes 3 hours.
It doesn't matter if I've exercised that day or had a late night, it's the same every night. Bought CBD oil and have been using it for 6 days but can't say it's made any difference yet.
Was surprised at how comfy it was. My scars are to left of boob near armpit so it was better for me. Hope you get some sleep soon too xx
Just keep a careful eye on any numb areas, Tired Minion as you might get sore and not know.

OK thanks will do. I usually have the bra whipped off by 4pm and my M&S sleep vest on as I can't wear it all day but did notice that there is less hardness at bottom of boob from fluid. I just feel uncomfy in anything at the moment and armpit is still giving me pains. Getting fed up of the aches. Hugs back to you too x
Night night dear Fruit Loops, sleep well and stay safe
plenty of sleepy fairy dust for all who wish

Much better sleep last night, was only awake for an hour and according to my sleep app my sleep efficiency was 97% - don't know about that.
Back to work today and teaching for the first time since last July. Terrified but will be fine once I get the first afternoon out of the way.
