I have finally had my op (seems like forever) … Lump is gone :). I opted for a local anaesthetic, and was glad I did, although the surgeon, and nursing staff kept asking "are you SURE you don’t want a general?
I must say it was not a bad experience, I even got to take my ipod into the theatre and have Micheal Bublé playing in the background it was most surreal.
I was in for twenty minutes and wheeled into recovery (I felt fine) … The surgeon said ‘it’ was the size of a pea and felt like a bead…the stressful ‘thing’ has now been sent away for a check up … News about results in two weeks.
I had no pain and took no pain killers ‘thought great’ I’d escaped Scott free…until… Early hours of this morning, had to take them… It only hurts if I move, so I think I will stay in bed and have waitress service (I wish)!!!
Anyway… If anyone is waiting for the same op… It’s not as bad as your imagination tells you, it’s the waiting that’s the worst.
So … I am back in that boring “waiting room” but feeling positive.
All the best and cyber hugs (gentle squeeze) from me…oh and enjoy this lovely warm weather.
The reason I asked for a local is, the lump was not deep and I hate the feeling of cr@pness after a general.
If I really needed general, then I would go with the flow.
I’ve had a shower this morning and took the padding off, all is looking good. Had more pain killers and I feel okay, it only hurts if I knock it… Okay I hear you say… Well Don’t knock it…But.my big boobies do tend 2 get in the way though
Good luck for your results on Tuesday…do let us know how you get on.
I am, in between the waiting room (yawn and stressful) …and in limbo…My question is … Could we have a “limbo” room or some other name for the looooong weeks of waiting ?
it was most surreal.
