Thank you! I had the surgery two days ago and am recuperating at home. Due to COVID, it was done outpatient, and I left the hospital that evening. I had the bilateral mastectomy and tissue expanders placed. I'm uncomfortable but definitely feeling better than I did yesterday. The pain is weird, in that it seems to pop up all over...not just my in my chest area, but in my neck, my abdomen....not sure why, although I'm sure there's a good explanation). Yes, the drains are most definitely a pain, and the bra is starting to get to me, as ridiculous as that sounds - it feels tight and itchy and just something I wish I could ditch. But at least I've managed to sleep on my back - I was pretty worried that I wouldn't be able to.

All in all, really glad that the surgery is over and done with. Thank you for all of the support!!!
