Hey Emma! I'm back in hotel now. Op was successful! But I have to be 100percent honest here, I was the most painful day and night of my life. I woke up in horrendous pain in my chest and were my port was. It was excruciating. I know some people breeze through it but I definately did not! I think they gave me morphine which helped. I then tried to go to toilet late last night and ended up getting very dizzy and fell against the wall but the nurse caught me and i vomited after that. I was in a bad way but mostly it was down to anaesthetic as over never really had one before so it knocked me for 6. nyway I started to feel alot better this morning and went to toilet with no problems. Then came the absolute worst part..... They told me to count to 3 and the nurse ripped the drain out of my side ....well I've gone through 4 child births Nd I'd go through Another 4 before I'd ever get that done again. 0mg. Anyway feeling so much better just resting now. I ate some pea broth and drank water. I hope no one gets turned off by my experience as its so different for everyone else. Thanks so much Emma for thinking of me! Keep in touch xxxxxx
 
Oh my god Sarah, that sounds awful. Make sure to take your painkillers regularly, even if you feel you don't need them, and try rest as much as you can, although i know how hard that is! I have 4 babbas too lol, rest is nigh on impossible
Look after yourself xxx
