I made it through surgery without significant complications. That being said, I am in very significant pain. The articles I read online, saying that the surgery does not hurt a lot are liars.

I absolutely do not recommend getting a double mastectomy unless you have no better options. I cannot move my arms and the general pain is so bad that I have been dry heaving even with anti nausea pills. My entire upper front hurts and I have a drain on each side that I have been emptying three times a day.

I will attempt to post something a little more eloquent tomorrow, but a quick update is the best I can manage today. I can already tell that this will be a very long recovery.

Blessings on those who sent me well wishes.
