Just take it a day at a time, or try too. I mean you have no control over what might have to happen, so best to put your energy in what's happening in your body right now. Easier said than done, I know.

As far as protein here's a good list to add some variety to your life.

You're dead right, I need to just go a day at a time. Trouble with me is I want to be sorted straight away lol. That link is great, thanks :-)

Well it's been almost 4 weeks so a bit of an update. My right breast is healed but the skin is red and scaly like a dragons! My left one is partly healed but there's about 2 inches which is still open and needing dressing. The worst is on my tummy, that is taking ages to heal and is incredibly painful. Every time I bend it feels like it's tearing open (it isn't but it feels like it) I'm having daily showers with iodine ow ow ow and then fresh dressings. I have a nurse coming on friday to discuss scar management but they can't start that until I've finished healing.. All in all it was a very painful cup of tea!

My inr hasn't been too bad, it's stayed between 2.2 and 3 which surprised me with being on different meds including antibiotics and liquid morphine. At least 1 thing is doing what it's meant to!! Through it all my dogs have been so amazing, the cat on the other hand still has the serious hump and keeps trying to bite me, well that's my monthly moan over, I hope you're all well :-)

Well glad your INR is in range, because that's one less thing to have to focus on.

The skin on your belly is so sensitive, I think. Are they still talking skin grafts, or is that on the back burner now? Ok, "back burner" is probably a poor choice of phrase!

You poor thing... you sound like you're improving, but what a long process.

Thankfully it looks like i'll get away without a graft They're using a steroid cream on the ones that haven't healed, just going to take a while. You're right about the belly being sensitive, when cool air hits it after a shower the pain takes my breath!

I'm also overdue for my b12 injection, I definitely feel a difference when I don't have it, lack of energy, brain fog and tingling in my feet. No way am I going to the dr when I can't wear a bra though, our family is cursed with big boobs and going braless isn't an option lol.

Ha ha ha! Can you wear a light sports bra or is that too restrictive and painful? My mom (who had breast cancer) had a lot of swelling and a hematoma after a lumpectomy, and on top of that burns from radiation treatment, and she lived in sports bra for almost a year after because of the discomfort her bras caused her.

Good idea, I'll get one and give it a try. I don't know why I didn't think of it!

Because your mind is on other things.

Even some sports bras were hard for my mom to wear. She had to find ones that were very light weight and light compression, which won't offer you a whole lot of support, but at least you'll feel like the girls are somewhat contained.

Lol that really made me laugh!! Oh to be young and perky...

Oh to be old and not!
