One Week From Today…I Will be a Forever Changed Woman…The Ticker Starts Now.

by TaraTataTales

Interesting how you are told you can’t drink any wine the week before surgery…yet, that seems to be the time your the most stressed, can’t get your mind off of anything other than what’s about to happen, and a glass of wine would be quite nice! So, I’m an effort to distract myself…I have made a commitment to getting as healthy as I possibly can before surgery. That would include drinking lots of water, researching the best foods for pre & post mastectomy, the best foods for healing and minimizing scaring, and trying to just chill. This week also looks like fun purchases like mastectomy appropriate wear, compression arm sleeves, pajamas, prescription filling, hospital and doctor calls, labs, oh yeah..,and just trying to sleep. I feel like I can’t go to sleep…and then I don’t want to wake up. It’s like…oh yeah…there it is again. Seems to be quite a common theme. (In case I sound like a broken record. Haha)

If anyone has any additional advice…feel free. Everyone has been so very amazing throughout all of this…just even so far. Thank you.

PS-Will I ever be able to do this pose again?

  3. Forever changed, but always the same. And, yes, you will be able to do that pose again, I have no doubt. I’m six years post right where you are now and I FEEL your anxiety and know exactly your fears. I encourage you to take one day at a time! Don’t get too high on the highs, or too low on the lows. You’ve got this!
