So I did get surgery, it was yesterday

Hi hi, It's me again, I'm ok. There were so many delays since November/December I had nothing much to contribute here really. Now it's the coming to terms with what has happened after my surgery yesterday lunchtime.

I was expecting a lumpectomy with Nipple & areola sacrifice, small straight horizontal extension to the midline for DCIS and another 'B4' lump. I was told in January it would be so little tissue that I wouldn't need any 'balancing things up' surgery, because as a larger lady the amount taken would not notice. But that was before the cancelling for Covid in Jan and the cancelling in Feb because it was discovered I had too high blood pressure, and the cancelling in April because the anaesthetic department hadn't got around to their contribution due to sickness, or possibly forgetting or hoping they wouldn't need to bother, I'll never know, but after the surgeon chased it up all was fixed and the cancelling in May as now it had been so long they wanted to do the mammogram and ultrasound again.

I was told just before the day surgery, at the 'sign-here' meeting, that it would be an 'anchor' style cut, a breast reduction and lift with nipple etc. sacrifice and maybe a (?sentinal) single lymph node. After surgery it was the we needed to be sure it hasn't become invasive and all that, understandably. I have said if I did feel able to do it I wouldn't tie her (the surgeon) hands behind her back and to do what she thought best and I'd work at sucking that up.
I am home now with less than 25% left - some drag queens have more I find (after watching all 13 series of RuPauls Drag Race on Netflix), so will be able to 'drag-up' I suppose. And I think because of the bruising that maybe they went around the side towards where my lymph nodes go down, but no one stated they did take a lymph node so hopefully I'll find out in a fortnight. I have been offered a breast reduction on the other side to even things up 'one day'. Presumably after everything has settled down, radiotherapy (or anything else) and the list backlog has been addressed, so who knows when tbh.

So that's me, coping with change is not my forte! Thank-you for 'listening'
