Since day one of my surgery 4 weeks ago, wow already 4 weeks, it feels just like yesterday that I got the news of my breast cancer. The only way I can describe what I feel is "sunburned" straight across from one side of my body to the other including the back of my arms. The extreme sensitivity is something I did not expect, I expected pain over my sutures but the pain of wearing a sweater or t-shirt was not not something I imagined. Being in a car is slowly getting better, every bump in the road, and there are many this time of year, each one hurts more than the other. Not all days are bad, some are better, but this sensitivity is driving me crazy. Just imagine, I am sure that once in your life you took a little too much sun, remember that feeling when you took a shower and then had to dry yourself and worst of all you have to put clothes on, that is the 24/7 feeling I have.
I am not sure what I expected, I guess the unknown is always better. Maybe had I known about all the pain and sensitivity I would have been more reluctant about the surgery, although it was inevitable. All I can tell you ladies is that try to make the best of it, it is extremely frustrating and the slightest caress hurts like needles, water drops from the shower feel like the jets are on full force. Patience is a virtue, I guess and God knows I don't have much of it at times.
So tomorrow is the big day......results day!!!!! To be continued......
