recovery tips
Thanks Jackie,
I'm sorry you had to go through all that, and so young. The up side I guess is that recovery and healing might be easier at our age.
I am considering having the other side removed also, someday. I think I just want to do one at a time for now, though.
I have very supportive family and friends standing by. I'm so grateful for that.
I'd be interested to hear more advise on recovering from surgery from you ladies.
