I know this is grumpy's thread, but I just read Trey's post and felt compelled to say how much admire her contribution and still remember the difficult time she went through not so long ago.

Have an Easter hug Trey.

Sorry for interrupting the thread.

Me too, Firewalker . Thank you for saying that... Trey is an inspiration. So many of us have our own issues to deal with, and I'm mindful of that, and it makes me even more grateful for the support I'm getting on this forum .

Woke up stiff and sore again this morning. I think I must have slept more heavily than I have been doing. Managed to wash my hair, which is a small step in the right direction!!!

I hope the Easter bunny is being kind to everyone ;-)

I don't know how I missed this thread but have just read it all through and just wanted to say that I'm full of admiration for the way you have faced and got through this operation and I hope you will be pampering yourself and taking it easy as you recover.

My very best wishes for a speedy recovery

Thanks ariadne . You and all the other lovely people on this forum have really helped me cope with this. I was an absolute wreck on the day of the operation - cried buckets (from relief) when I came round!

The bruises are quite spectacular at the moment

Hi grumpy

I'm glad it went okay for you, take things easy with your recovery as it's such a tender area. xx

[grumpy2008]

Thanks Lily . It is particularly tender today - the whole area has swollen up and is extremely sore. I go to the clinic tomorrow so they will check it.

I've only been taking paracetamol so far, but might need something stronger...

Do you have a drain in-situ?

Let us know how you get on

You are doing so well.  Hope you enjoyed your Baileys Easter Egg -Yummy.  It's nice to have a treat - you deserve it.

Take it easy - Take Care and most importantly - Take time to tell us how you are getting on

Meggie

[grumpy2008]

Thank you!

CLKD, I don't have a drain thank goodness. I think they took 5 nodes, not sure, will find out at my next appointment.

Meggie, the chocolates have been eaten but the egg is still intact (until later!!!) 

I had my dressing taken off this morning - all looks ok, the swelling is normal apparently (although it took me a bit by surprise). Only one tiny bit of the underarm wound looks a little inflamed so I'll keep my eye on that.

I've surprised myself by being able to take a good look at the wounds (I'm normally such a wimp) and so far it looks better than I expected .

We went for lunch after the clinic appointment, which has worn me out! But it does feel good to have the dressings off now.

Thanks for posting Grumpy.
So pleased you and the healing are doing well  :-)

Think about you.
