Hi Mandie - best laugh I have had today! Mine is squidgy - never had a water bed but it is definitely more water than divan! I don't know about the noise though - it isn't trapped wind is it? 
Just ask them to confirm it's normal - I find that I don't worry about side effects as long as they are "normal" - whatever that means! That's not to say I don't complain!

hi littlescoot
like you i had an easy time in hospital, i was up and dressed, make up on and waiting for brekkie at 6.30 every morning and i would like to say that so far (almost 3 wks post op) it has continued to be that way. dont get me wrong, i have days where i get aches and feel tired, sometimes i do too much stretchy movements because i forget i'm in recovery and it soon reminds me when i squeal!! I would like to say make sure you do take it easy even though you feel good, i have tried my best but sometimes its hard not to do stuff that you probably shouldnt.
its really surprising isnt it, considering what they do, i expected to be laid up for weeks!
much better when the drain comes out too.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\happy sunday to you too\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Hi everyone,
well I am now 3 days post complete Mx still in hospital and will be in until tuesday when hopefully my drain should come out. What a totally different experience to the first 2 ops (WLE/ANC then a re excision) I was so poorly after both of those and ended up both times as an emergency re admittance. I have no pain to speak of, just sore and bruised -bit like a hippo is sat on my chest. But something has definitely changed in my head. Instead of feeling like I'm on the path of dread, each op spells something worse etc I have now got rid of the little( or not so in my case 49mm grade 3 with further extensive areas) bu**er and can start to move onto the treatment path. I actually feel amazing.
I had an idea yesterday with my genie bra- I took the pad out of the LHS and put 3 pads in the RHS and it evened me up ( Somewhat solid though-could probably launch spacecraft off it!!). Can't tell I've even had an op. well chuffed. Hope this euphoria lasts!!!
I went on the "Look Good Feel Better" afternoon a couple of weeks ago. What an absolutely amazing afternoon that was. It was heaps of fun, loads of tips, very professionally run and the goody bag was crammed full of skin care and make (more than £250). Thank you so much to the organisers
I have also had a headstrong session- also very useful and run by volunteers who have had bc themselves. I even came away with a really nice scarf.
My wig is also waiting for me in the salon. I've had my own hair cut to the same style so hopefully the transition will be seamless if the cold cap doesn't work.
My chemo essentials pack is all done too- from bonjela and difflam to ginger tea.
I feel so much more positive now that I'm organised and feel back in control. So hopefully I will now be able to be included in the April thread-just waiting for final referral as I'm changing hospitals.
I really hope Elliedog is ok -her Mx was the same day as mine.
Also many thanks to Nextstep for her diary-she made it all feel a lot less scary than I thought it would be!
love to everyone and a happy Sunday!! Xxx
