That's crap Bella. Wishing you well soon. I had a hysterectomy last week and my lord the pains from the gas pumped into body is so painful. Feel very sorry for myself ... finding resting (I'm a slow runner) the worst. Giving instructions to my husband is exhausting, although he's willing, but telling somebody to change a food bin bag and spray with disinfectant is just one of the tiny things my head has to deal with. I'm now rambling and wondering why my knickers, despite being huge, are tight. Then I looked at my swollen lower half and realised I needed extra huge! Anyhoo take care XxX

Be kind to yourself Bella, you’ve had a traumatic event happen to you over which you had no control and where you had to put your trust in complete strangers, the body heals a lot quicker than the mind it takes a while for that to catch up in my experience. I had a double mastectomy this year due to a second BC diagnosis and I was given the book you mentioned it was so insightful and I really did give myself time to heal rather than try & rush through and get back to normal. Take it one day at a time - that’s all you can do x
