Hope the dressings coming off isn't too painful, here's a virtual hand to hold, squeeze as hard as you need to if they go for the brutal approach!!!

Blimey 5:00 sounds late. Could u pick morning or afternoon- was talking t someone having their RT at same hosp as me and they were asked which was their preference- they picked afternoon. If I’m asked will ask for morning cos daughter is taking me nd she might can go to work after she drops me back off Home. 

There is just me at home so my plan is to do nowt. If I need owt I can’t get myself I’m ringing the daughters lol ( this is my plan daughters no nothing of it ).

take care

Morning wasn't an option, was told there weren't any, certainly during the first week.  This is what I've been presented with, oh joy. 

Both mine still live at home, she's on her way back from Tenerife as we speak, he's round at his mates. 

She's been brilliant during the last few months, she's been to appointments with me, especially some of the contentious one's and has pitched in and argued when the medical professionals haven't played by the rules. 

Daughter has suggested getting them done ombre style? All sounds a bit fashionable for me I'm afraid. Probably go for one of my usual colours. 

Ah brill - you have raised them well. They have your back - that’s a demonstration of love right there- b proud.

Mine have always come to my appointments too but ... I’ve never taken them in the room with me - they r cryers- tell them Tesco has run out of cakes nd they would cry lol.

They r very supportive and I’ve told them everything but in the consultations I need to be focused not worried how they are taking things. 

Bet u can’t wait for her t b back home from her hols. Love them t b independent but also safe Home lol x

I'm stalking the plane as we speak! She's been in the appointments with me as well. She's a bit emotional, like me, but she's very good at getting the point across. 

Evening jbains 

cheers for the well wishes much appreciated. 

Hope you have had a good weekend. 

I think ombré nails would look great Rileyroo . Rileyroo u could have them in you usual tone with the ombré look. very fancy.... whichever u choose enjoy the experience :-)

I will. Just wind her up and set her off. She can talk more than me and that's not necessarily a good thing!

Daughters are a Godsend. Mine also came with me and its important they're involved. It helps them to cope - i think. Ombre nails sound amazing!

Good for her she might need to talk to help get her through too. 

Your next couple of days will b all about her hols it’s brill hearing about their lives. We have done good when we know they can go out in the world confidently:-) x

Daughter is good with stuff like that, have to see if Bekki the nail lady can oblige. I'll try and describe them to you, not sure if we can put pics on here?

Certainly will!  

totally agree jbains me nd mine are very close. They both live near enough for us to spend time together. Good times x

Thanks I’ll update when I get back. 

Worth the wait will look brill. 

Well I managed t get my steristrips off. After yet another 2 showers the ends lifted. Started off standing up but u were right best done sitting down. TBH they actually came off slowly but no bother. Mind u I did go a bit clammy and lightheaded when finished so needed t lie down - it passsed quickly ( prob cos was holding my breath lol).

1 quite long scar under underarm ( but very thin) chuffed t bits with the one on my breast- I had 2 lumps about 6 cm apart- they have only done 1 incision around the edge of my areole (darker area around my nipple) so actually very difficult to see scar. Bit of yellow bruising but minimal. At the min very little difference in look but was advised at pre  op that this will prob happen but as it heals the tissue taken will b more obvious.

So hope I get good news today...then hopefully onwards and upwards.

take care x
