Had a horrible day

I've had such a stressfull day, well yesterday I started feeling a bit worried about my left boob, it felt tender and I couldn't decide if it was a bit bigger? I thought it was. And the last few days I've had a bad chesty cough and been feeling hot and cold, so in the back of my mind I was thinking what if it's an infection around my implant, but that's so scary I just tried to forget about it.

This morning I undressed to have my bath and some fluid and a bit of blood came out my scar, a tiny bit, but I freaked out. I was just like Oh my God I've got an infection, that's why I've been hot, and it's been sore, and bigger, I'm going to have to have more surgery, what if they have to remove it.

I had trouble getting through to the clinic or my nurse, nobody was answering and I just didn't know what to do, I didn't even want to put my top back on cos I thought I shouldn't touch it, so I had to call the emergency number. When a nurse finally answered I burst in to tears I could hardly get my words out to tell her my name!

Anyway my own nurse called me back and said I should go to the clinic, which took about 3 hours to get there cos of tube strikes, a nurse and a surgeon had a look and said it's not infected... phew

I feel so drained by all the worry and travel today, I was poorly anyway and my boob's still sore, I'm glad I went up there to put my mind at rest, but feel quite emotional about it all. :pale:

Aww huni im so sorry to hear you had a horrible day! what a nightmare for you! So glad to hear you're ok though! Rest up babe! xx

Hope you are feeling reassured now - sometimes when you have a cough you feel like you have bruised ribs, after a BA that most feel even worse. (I once put a rib out of place through coughing so much).

I don't think that you over reacted, this for most of us is new experience - one which has taken great courage to see through (I burst into tears just talking to a lady at Transform about an appointment). Tomorrow is another day - hope you will feel much better. x

Ahhh that sounds so stressful! I would think the same thing in your situation I always assume the worst with my health... better to b safe than sorry, right! I am so glad all is well with the boobies... but rest up if u r coming down with something.

Aw hun, sounds like you have had a stressful day, am so glad it's not an infection. look after yourself now.

Sorry you had a bad day hun, glad you saw someone in the end and you can relax now x

I understand exactly how you feel, i feel the same today. I am going to phone the clinic in the morning, i have pains up the side and one of my scabs came off with my bra and it doesnt look pretty. Glad you dont have an infection, :thumbs: look after yourself xx

Oh dear hun I know EXACTLY what your going through. Except when I called the emerg number,.,...no one answered ever! It was the office phone!!! I then was in emergency at the hospital...had iv therapy and a swab (they thought it was for sure infected) so i was on the iv for 4 days! Ahh and then when my surgeon finally opened 5 days later (after the long weekend) turns out the swabs were clean... :good: ! I remember seeing the fluid and nearly fainting.

What day hun! I'm glad everything is ok though you did the right thing going to the clinic!

Awww hunni, what a day! Glad to read you don't have an infection and hoping you feel better soon. xx

Sorry you had such an awful day mrsm. Glad you don't have an infection and hope you feel better soon.

it was so scary, I thought I was past the worrying part being over 2 weeks post op, so it was such a shock to have all that happen yesterday. And a big reminder that I've had real surgery only a couple of weeks ago.

i hope your feeling better today mrsm

Ah no sorry to hear you had a bad day hun. Glad it turned out to be nothing though. xx

Aww no, what a day!! Good news that there's no infection, hope you're soon feeling better xxx

what an emotional rollercoster of a day for you hunni......So glad its ended on a positive note for you babe rest up now and chill babe xxx

Arwww Hun Id have felt the same as you....its such a emotional rollercoaster & I was totally stressed out worryin somethign was wrong or that i had some kinda complication..I think its because its something that you have really wanted & when you finally get your new boobs if the slightest thing happens you straight away think the worst...well i did! lol

Im glad they gave you the all clear & it was a good move to get checked out no matter how far the trip.................Just rest up now hun & heal.

You definitely did the right thing sweetie. Couldn't have happened on a worse day tho - bed travelling in London with the tubes down was a nightmare. Glad you're ok now tho x

Awww, big hugs for you babe.

Secretly, I still won't throw out my old gel bras in case it tempts fate and something goes wrong. Over 2 years PO, too. I must be a real nut case!!!

Hope you are feeling much better now hun glad everything turned out ok x
