“I got you a little something, for our anniversary and Valentine’s Day,” I say to Seb when he calls yesterday. “When’s Valentine’s Day?” Seb says. “February 14th,” I say. Surely he ought to know this, but then again maybe it’s a good sign that he doesn’t: it means he hasn’t been wining and dining a […]

“Am setting off now,” Seb’s message comes through at 3.11pm today. “Are you up to a Restaurant?” “Think so!” I say. “You?” Have just this minute arrived home from the hospital and am settling under my furry blanket. “I am,” Seb replies. “Only if you’re up to it though. See what your parents think.” […]

“I need some morphine,” I say, standing at the nurses’ station. “I’m in so much pain and…” “Which room are you?” A nurse says. She’s young, pretty: long black hair tied in a ponytail. “Fifteen,” I say. She pulls my chart down from a shelf, looks along it. “You’re not due anything for the […]

Ripped off this plastic one late on Friday night: Nurse came to help me cover the steristrips with micropore: Last night, became allergic to the micropore too. A nurse helped me remove some of it, and replace it […]

“Hello,” my plastic surgeon says, popping his head round the door, his face lit up by his huge smile. “Hello,” I say. “How are you doing?” He says, perching on the edge of my bed which creaks: he’s a portly gentleman. “Not too bad,” I say. “In a lot of pain, but my chest […]

Needing a wee, pushing, awaiting the magic of the catheter where the feeling disappears as the liquid goes down the tube into the bag, I’m suddenly soaked with warm water. It’s all over my legs and tummy, the sheets and duvet. Oh no. Ringing my buzzer, I’m shaking. This is horrible. The nurse comes […]

Survived the operation. Will write more tomorrow. Before: After: The nipple has gone as that’s where ductal carcinoma originates I think. Am pleased with the way my chest looks I think, although: 1. 3 drains in. 2. Pain: so much. 3. Catheter. 4. No fluffy monster here. 5. No Mr Fluffypants. 6. […]

My nails look very sad without any varnish. Have removed it so they can see whether or not am dead in the operation – nails will go blue if am dead I think. Am just doing a quick blog now, in case don’t have time to bash one out before the operation tomorrow. Setting […]

Jolting out of sleep, I check my watch: 3.45am. Yuck. I’m wide awake: morning-awake. Switching my phone on, reaching for my water bottle, I gulp some down. It’s annoying, but understandable. Am, despite what have been telling everyone (why?) nervous about Major Surgery in 2 days time. Checking Facebook, there are about ten of […]
