tubing  outa  me  arm  pit  like  a  magician  pulling
            handkerchiefs  out  of  his  sleeve...!  Just  got  to  get  me
            mummified boob unwrapped on Friday....
           The drain thing was a bit like this but with about another
            meter of tubing and what looks like a drip bag attached
            to  the  end.  Couldn’t  seem  to  find  a  single  dress  to  go
            with it!
           Actually my breast care nurse provided me with a bag. Still,
            I  think  I  could  design  something  a  bit  better.  More
            discreet and stylish! I looked like I was about to go on a
            paper  round.  There  were  a  few  "mistakes"  and  not
            brilliant things while I was in. My surgeon is absolutely
            brilliant. My breast care nurse is really good but some of
            the staff on the ward were ridiculous. Last time I was in
            Hospital they took all me meds off me, lost them and I
            had  none  of  my  usual  meds  for  3  days  which  made
            horrendously ill - physically and mentally so this time I
            was a bit paranoid and determined not to let that happen.
            Just before I left a nurse came and asked me to hand over
            all  my  tablets  -  these  are  ones  for  my  bi-polar,
            fibromyalgia,  migraine  etc. and she  was  saying  I had  to
            give them al to her and all my meds were being changed
            (?!) I refused and there was rather a heated argument until
            the ward sister came over, checked what was happening
            and discovered the nurse had got completely the wrong
            patient lol I’m glad I never let them go.

           So there’s a Documentary about Bi-Polar on Wednesday. I
            wonder how accurate and interesting it’ll be. Or whether
            it will be part of Channel 4,s "Point and Laugh" Season?
