I’ve just been told by my BCN , keeping in mind my surgery is tomorrow, that my boob will be “smurf” blue. Even better my face could also be blue ish for up to 24hrs. I just laughed, all be it a little hysterically and said as kindly as I could as it’s not their fault but I feel I’m drip feed bad news. It just keeps getting better .
I’m ok now and then it’s another 2 weeks for results.
Thank you all for Your support , where would I be without it .Maria xx

Hi Shellian is this the first surgery you've had for reconstruction ? It will be ok and help you gain more normality I'm sure .Massive love sent to you. I'm ok just keeping on and hoping as we all do. The people on here are all amazing aren't they just have to stop worrying so much. I'm worse than Mr Worry !! X
Hi optimistic I had tissue expanders in August in preparation for my diep surgery. I really hope so. Thankyou love to you too. It' all we can do isnt it. They certainly are. We all worry its not easy . Xx
Peace and plenty. Xx
Twinkle51,
My boob wasn’t blue!! All I have is a tinge of a pale blue patch & my nipple is half blue half skin coloured!!
What they might not have told you about is your wee!! Now that is blue!! Really blue!! Like the colour of one of those bloo loo things!! Just something else to put on list eh?? Hope all goes well tomorrow.

Twinkle51, I just wanted to reassure you that when you wake up from your surgery you WON'T look like this...........
however she is very pretty!
Your face might have a slight tinge, mine looked ghostly white! They pre warn you because if they don't you will look in the mirror and think you are a ghost......freaky!!
L.P will be on to wish you and Jo well tomorrow! ((((((((Hugs))))))) Sal xx
Ooh hi everyone....you been busy here all day so I need to catch up properly. Unexpectedly went out with pal today and saw ....buckets! Bit late but have to post it as we didn't have lampshades: )
Yes indeed . I was very grateful for the pre warning . I had no idea so it just made me laugh . Actually I think it was more of a cackle. Maria xx
