Day 14 post surgery ..........



............and I am feeling sore and thoroughly fed up with my body taking so long to heal (I don't have time for this!!!!)

I slept horribly last night.  We had a power-cut at 23.30 and the electricity board were out in the road trying to fix whatever the problem was (noisily) until 02.30.  

I was conscious that today was going to be busy for me as it is my sons' 18th birthday and there are preparations during the day and a party tonight.  

I was also very aware that I am back to work tomorrow (long day too:  I'll leave home at 06.00 tomorrow and not get home until 19.00 - I'll be on my feet delivering a lecture to approx. 80 people all day).

I needed my rest and the universe was disobligingly configuring itself to prevent that.  I am not used to having so little energy (I usually work 70+ hour weeks and still have energy left over to look after my family, my home and for socialising).

I woke up this morning and my right breast was still weeping :(  [see close-up pic].  I put some gauze over it and have left it alone all day.  I will look later (when I go to get ready for my sons' party) to see how it is doing.

I am a tiny bit concerned that if it continues to ooze it could be a sign of infection (please not!)


The photos on this post were taken early this morning but I have been so busy I am only now managing to update my blog.

My nipples are looking frighteningly like they could fall off my breasts if I don't take good enough care!
