The story of how I beat this monster.

11 days
that is how long I have until surgery. I am on vacation and it is the best thing I could have done. I am sure if I were at home I would be much more stressed out. For now the only thing bothering me is that I am not 'preparing' for surgery by getting things ready around the house, finding shirts that will conceal my odd look (I still don't know what the hell to buy!) and whatever else I feel like i need to do to get ready. Oh well- vacation is worth it :)

Tara, think of things that are kind of loose fitting. You don't need to go with incredibly baggy, but you don't want snug, either. Think comfortable.
ReplyDeleteRight after the surgery, you'll probably have at least one drain that will stay in place for a bit (I want to say a week, but it might be less than that), so keep that in mind.
I'm sure one of your "team" (maybe your plastic surgeon) will talk to you about mastectomy bras, inserts, etc. to help you look "normal" until everything is finished. If they don't bring it up, make sure you do. There are lots of options out there.
Thinking of you!!!!!
