Pneumonia at beginning of December. Still feel unwell.
Hi all, I spent 5 days at beginning of December in hospital with Pneumonia, It is taking ages to recover. I have spent today in bed coughing up muck and I'm very wheezy. Feeling generally unwell. Should I see my Dr or see how the week pans out. In 2012 I had a mastectomy (L) side, I had 6 sections

Breast Reconstruction via Abdominal Flap Surgery
Recommend the abdominal flap after a mastectomy for breast reconstruction!!! Relatively painless and you don't have to worry about infection from implants!!!! Looks pretty natural. My surgeon tattooed on a nipple!!!! Partner pleased with the results!!!

Bookends
Here's the text of an essay I wrote for InMotion Magazine's My Amputee Hero, called "Bookends." (It's in the November/December 2016 issue, page 14, https://cloud.3dissue.com/75702/76051/90328/AC-2016-Nov-Dec/index.html). It's about the camaraderie between two "amputees." Hope you like it...

Scared of what the future holds
Just home from hospital from post mastectomy surgery consultation, I am absolutely devastated as surgeon explained that all 12 lymph nodes removed at time of mastectomy had cancer present and I now have to go in for total lymph node clearance.

Mastectomy site
Hi mastectomy ladies just want to ask if there is ever a good time to let partner/husband in my case your operation site. I feel need to show, but want to do it right and not for just the sake of saying "look what ive been through" if this makes sense. Thank you.
