Morning all, 8 long days … Woke with sickening headache had terrible dreams (I have a lot of those) and the usual discomfort. I get to see my BS this evening to get these rather special dressings off (I hope). Pica 7 dressings create a vacuum over wounds and have buzzing battery attachments. I have one on each breast for my recent bilateral surgery. They buzz every 20 seconds 24/7. I have about 11 hours to get ready for my appointment. I’m hoping to look reasonable as … hey .. it’s a night out! No shower since 22nd … yeah. No hair wash. Have had a terrible 8 days juggling drugs and coping with pain. TIME. Strange isn’t it. Some of us worry about not having enough of it and some of us just want it to go away so that we can move on to “the next stage”. Well I’ve managed to get rid of 8 days …. No idea what my new look will be when the dressings come off and frankly, I don’t care! All I want after this stage is …. the next one … where I can visualise walking my dog, gaining strength, enjoying the new season. Getting back to Pilates. My current new look … not good … sprouted cold sores. I wonder if the antibiotics gave me those! Oh well this is indeed something to look forward to. Best wishes to Moomy, AWAKE, Anna12345, Irishgirl16 and everyone on this journey. J xxx
Jgau good luck for today! 
Good luck for today, you’ve had such a rough ride, hopefully you’re nearing the end of it 
and heal quickly and without incident xx
Jgau how did you get on? 
Good I’m pleased you’re getting there, it’s such a long haul. Keep those arm exercises going, gently! I still do them occasionally now after all this time and I agree with Grogg , go and chat up your hairdresser
