      we are all here to talk to so dont think your on your own

      best group I ever joined x

      .yes its sore and uncomfortable forr a while but im sure we would all say we been through worse, I mean why did we have the op in the first place.

      Dont forget your dressing gown to hide your backside !! Lol

    Ok back from docs 

    He said I am doing well and I thought I had an infection near my scar but no it is just healing. 

    He will not put me on HRT due to family history so has given me a new antidepressent which is mild, as he is concerned cos they picked up a murmur on my heart...so back to the hospital I now go for an Echo sad
