Blog has been quiet for a few days, basically because there isn't much to report at the moment. My armpit still hurts like hell, although the boobie is much less swollen and tender. Stitches are loosening up. They may come off after a couple more showers.

Off to see consultant on Tuesday for the results of the tests. I have the same time appointment as Wendy ( the lady in the bed opposite me) so we are going to catch up for a chat.

I stressed at the beginning of my blog, the importance of checking yourself for lumps and changes. Well, it turns out that my auntie was telling a friend of hers about my illness and op. It obviously weighed on her mind a little because she went home and checked her breasts. She too found a lump. It has turned out to be quite serious and she is due to go in for a mastectomy in 2 weeks. So am sending lots of positive thoughts for a speedy recovery for Val. So come on girlies...keep checking!!

Managed to wear a bra this week but after a couple of hours it got really uncomfortable, so I gave up. Will maybe try again today.

Bought some antiseptic wipes and spray, to clean my armpit and try and make it smell a bit better so that when Emz checks my wound, she doesn't do the fake theatrical gagging thing cos of the smell!. Got to love her!!

On a lighter note, Em has gone off to Amsterdam for the weekend. Supposedly to watch Holland win the world cup. There are 2 things wrong there. Firstly, Spain will win the world cup and secondly, Em will probably ( despite my warnings) be in some brown cafe with her cousin Euan, sampling anything that is available with marijuana in it, and not watching the football at all.

Going to have a snuggly loved up weekend with my Hunni.
