Mastectomy

I've just had a right breast mascetomy ..overnight stay in hospital and home yesterday evening. Luckily I have no drain and not in as much pain as others had led me to expect. I'm finding it hard NOT to immediately do things..got up this morning washed hair had bath changed budgie cage cooked breakfast emptied washing machine..I guess all becausel I wanted to see if I could and becausel noons at home to stop me ! I have some wonderful friends and a few are wanting to visit.trouble is I don't want to see anyone ! Maybe I'm a bit depressed..is this sounding crazy? 

  • Hi Lynne, 

    Just wanted to pop in and see how your weekend had been and if you're feeling any better. 

    Don't be too hard on yourself about not wanting visitors at the moment. You've had major surgery and it sounds like you've been rather busy since you got home! 

    Is there one friend that you could maybe arrange to have a cuppa with this week? If you feel that you don't want to be inundated with visitors then start slowly - I'm sure they'll understand. 

    Sending you best wishes, 

    Jenn
