I'm sorry I didn't get in here to let you all know what was going on.
Everything was crazy here getting ready for this.  I had my surgery
October 12th at 7:15am.  It all went well and I chose to come home the
day afterwards b/c I would do better there.  I had both breasts removed
and stretchers put in at the same time.  The night before I had a sore
throat and that morning I got up with swollen glands and a mild fever.
I was so scared this would ruin my surgery but I told them I wanted it
now and done and over with.  They pumped me full of antibiotics before
the surgery and before I came home.  I went back to my plastic surgeon
on Wednesday and she said everything is doing very good.  She even
offered to stretch my skin on that visit but I decided that I would wait
till this wednesday to have it done.  I still have one drain left in one
breast and one just fell out today so I cleaned the area with peroxide
and bandaged it up.  I will call the surgeon tomorrow if they think
there might be a problem.  My blood pressure dropped 20 to 30 points
after my surgery.  My stress level was very high for about 2 weeks
before I even had it done.  So now I am cancer free and ready to start
my new life with my new body as it progresses.  

I figured out a way to wear clothes comfortably when I came home.  I cut
big T-shirts up the back and got a fanny pack to carry my drainage
bottles in so I didn't have to carry them when ever I walked anywhere.
I wrapped the belt to the fanny pack around the T-shirt.  So anyway I
was much more comfortable with that on the front of me than anything
else.
