Re: Surgery Friday...any advice?
I have no advice but wanted to wish you good luck with your new foobs. You will be in my prayers. You just keep getting closer to ending this chapter of your life. Go girl. I found my recovery after mastectomy very easy, never took anything for pain was home the same day and ready to go back to work as soon as drain was out but I did not have reconstruction. I did find the drain annoying and bothersome but it did not hurt. Your surgery is completely different than mine but you will do fine. You are a fighter. God Bless. Darlene
