Just over 24 hours since operation yesterday afternoon and doing really well.
Had 6 pain killers (over a few hours) before going bed and slept to 5.30 which is great.
Feeling well today and will only take a few today between sleeping, emailing, TV knitting, reading, sipping on liquid etc. etc.
GP (General Practitioner) tomorrow and plastic surgeon next Friday when I get the stiches out.
I am surprised that there appear to be so few stitches this time.
Other than saying "shut up cookey" to my feathered friend I suspect my ssssssssss's will be a bit more lispy because of the extra cut away.
At the moment I am happy to have the mass out and will now wait to see how it is with time and see what the pathology has to say this time.
Thanks for the words of encouragement and at this stage it is looking good.
Maybe I will post the before and after photo�s on Facebook.
Cheers
Gabriele
