Re: Double mastectomy tomorrow...starting to stress :(
Thanks Suzanne & Tammy - I'm comfortable that the breast surgeon has it all together! I love her and know I'm in good hands. I'm thinking the PS just didn't look at her notes...and they did mention the morphine drip right off the bat, along with other pain meds to take until they are OK with me taking Ibuprofen.
Tricia- not really second guessing everything, just really nervous. Can't believe that the day is actually here and it is really ME that is going under the knife. All along it has seemed like it was happening to someone else in my mind. I have kept myself super busy over the last 6 months so I haven't had time to stop and think about what is happening.
Just wish I could ease my upset tummy - I was planning on eating until midnight
