Hi I am new to this forum. I had breast surgery 2 weeks ago to remove my right breast. Still actually wonder whether I am really living this, if that sounds crazy
No totally understand what you are saying ... no crazy sounds. I had the same surgery almost 4 weeks ago, with the new "normality" one day at a time I don't feel particularly grounded to anything atm. This is a journey, things are improving and with each step a new normality has started to build. Yesterday I had my second drain taken out, which has helped me to move forward ... just have to wait for the subsequent steps to occur, continue on the journey and make my new way forward. I hope that the same thing starts to happen for you soon too. Take care! x
Bless you. I had area drained yesterday as it was full.of fluid but didn't have to have drains left in. Hope your journey goes well for you. X
