#I’ll ask for more oxys or see if lidocaine patches would work

Welp.

Healing isn’t linear, and I think I have a seroma (annoying pocket of fluid that isn’t draining into my drain like it should). It’s a squishy lump, painful to the touch, not hot or red, on the left side above my drain. I’ll get it checked out at my post op with the oncology surgeon tomorrow.

Here’s the bad news: it’s painful to the touch. And something is touching it. That something is the band of my incredibly tight surgical bra.

Constant pain! I’m so pissed!

On the other hand, it is incredibly cool to have a husband who I can take my shirt off in front of, and trust that he will do what I ask him to do without turning it into anything sexual. No innuendo, no comments about how he can’t wait until my boobs get bigger or until I can have sex again, no touching anywhere except where I ask him to…RESPECT.

Now, if the oxy would just kick in, I would be in a slightly better mood.
