Home after having my reconstruction on Sunday morning,a bit sore(no pain),tired,but very pleased with the outcome,can't hold a pencil under my boobs anymore,had 3 drains in this time,but only came home with 2,had 1 removed yesterday,so getting abouts a bit easier. My clothes fit better,even with the dressings on,Steph from the speck team came yesterday to change both the dressings,as they were a bit yucky,but everything is going well,thank you all for your best wishes.Out patience in 2 weeks.Xx
