Good morning
I had my wle yesterday, it was a bit daunting but I'm glad it's done. Its on the top of my arm and is quite a long scar but the surgeon has done a really good job. It's a bit achey and feels heavy but hopefully will heal ok. I have to say the medical team were fabulous, I was so nervous. I've never had anything medical & never been inside a theatre so it was a bit overwhelming. I cried as I went in as I was so anxious but the nurse stayed with me and held my hand throughout. Understandably it's a nerve wracking thing but I just wanted to say to anyone about to have it that you'll be very well looked after. I am extremely squeamish and a bit pathetic but I did it!
I felt absolutely fine afterwards, I had a lie down for about half an hour and was discharged to go back next week to the dressing clinic.
Hi Jobo
I'm glad that your WLE is now over and done with and I completely understand how nerve wracking it is going into an operating theatre.
My WLE was also on the top of my arm and i was left with a very long wound. However, it's amazing how quickly the body heals and I'm now left with a scar you can hardly see.
Take care

It certainly can be but you have to find a way to not let your mind go off down rabbit holes. I found that it does become easier with time and I hope you will too.
