A Black Scab and a Bit of a Scare

Friday, 8th August

Today was a routine follow up on the nipple progress - by this point it's pretty black across the top and a hard scab. 

I’d been getting some pain when doing my exercises that I was a little concerned about. I’d pretty much stopped taking the Oramorph now, but finding by 7pm I was feeling more discomfort, I think it correlated to when I stopped moving around as much. 

It was Laura the nurse at this appointment and she did an ultrasound to check it all out. She also called in Mr Cathcart to double check. 

I have to admit this made me a little nervous, however it turned out I needn’t have worried. He also did the ultrasound and showed me that there was nothing sinister, the pain was most likely coming from the healing muscle that had been cut during the surgery. 

I was issued with another bottle of Oramorph just to make sure I had some to hand should I need it.
