Getting bored easily is one of my strongest character traits (good or bad depending on the situation!)
When unable to sleep, I was glad to be physically able to write. Although I’m right-handed and my right underarm was particularly sore from the removal of lymph nodes, I just jotted down what I could, when I could. (No thriller, or romance novel I assured the nurses! Just recording what was going on around me so I didn’t lose track).
Oh – and the special ‘pillows’ have been nicknamed ‘floaties’. Floaties for grown ups who’ve lost their boobs. I enjoyed so much comfort from this one I was given before the surgery, one of the nurses managed to find another for my other side. I was very grateful.
