I am very pleased to be able to report that operation number 2 has been a ‘walk in the park’ compared to the first one.

The lack of drains (my nemesis), the lack of nerve pain and only one sore boob has made this a very straight forward recovery. I’m hardly taking any pain killers this time too.

When I first came home my left boob did look at little squared off (similar to the first op – Dave and I nicknamed me ‘Sponge Bob Square Tits’ last time) but I’m pleased to say that the swelling has obviously gone down a little and they have returned to a more rounded look (thank goodness).

Dressings are still on until Wednesday, so I won’t see the end result of the surgery until the great unveiling then. I’m sure it will be fine and Ms Athwal will have done a great job making me symmetrical.

So, I feel almost back to normal now, although I do know I need to take things a little easy in order to let my body heal properly. Unfortunately, I’m not good at that bit.

I have a little reprieve now because apart from my wound check, my next big appointment is to see the oncologist on November 20th. So, I intend to have as nice a time as possible between now and then before he or she blows my mind with the joys of chemotherapy.

Oh, and this Wednesday (6th November) I have an appointment at the wig shop in Bromsgrove!

I feel sure there will be a blog after that appointment.
