So tonight I'm googling "Mastectomy Recovery" in a mad ...no, really, the word is INSANE attempt to regain a bit of control over my fall schedule. There's GOT to be a way to SQUEEZE a 3-6 week recovery into 8 days. I'm, honest to God, reading women's discussion board posts to each other about their recoveries thinking if I can find ONE person who had their drainage tubes removed within 5 days and was relatively pain free and MOBILE in the second week... I can make it happen too!!
I'm not finding anyone.
Shit.
I mean, how on EARTH can removing a couple of useless, pathological boobs be harder than a 4th degree tear and a brand new ten pound baby?? I was able to get out and about two days after that.
Sigh.
I know I've got it good. I've got a great, flexible job, great benefits, wonderful colleagues, friends and family.
But, gosh DARNIT -- I had a plan!!!
So -
