My imagination went into overdrive in the days leading up to this operation. It needn't have. I'm feeling physically fine. I have pain but I expected to have pain. I feel like I've overdone it at the gym with a chest expander. I expect the real pain will kick in tomorrow. I've opted for reconstruction with an implant, so the pain is coming from the area under the pectoral muscle where they've placed a temporary expander pouch.
I'm concentrating on the physical recovery. I know I will be better equipped to deal with the emotional stuff when I'm physically healed.
I feel good. Relieved. Grateful. Hopeful. Excited even. My husband and children have visited. Their relief was palpable . Giddy and joyful as they left.
Not a cloud in the sky today in this part of Ireland.
