I love your tip about marking the drain container on the outside. It is so hard to see it otherwise. Thank you for the video. I’m day 7 and watching at 2 am. Sleeping is so difficult

[@elizabethkcaceres8090]

I just had a mastectomy. It’s been 12 days and I know how you’re feeling. I have one drain but my underarm hurts. I don’t have pain just soreness. I’m uncomfortable and sleeping on my back is not easy. My sleep has changed. I’m emotionally drained struggling with this.

Thank you for sharing, Kayla. My Mom is preparing for her mastectomy next month, and I'm doing everything I can to learn and prepare for her safety and comfort. I am so grateful for everything you selflessly have shared with everyone! Bless you!

[@60b60]

Thank you. This helped my anxiety about my Mastectomy so much.

[@ElizabethFinn-kt7ye]

Thank you for all your tips.I am have my surgery the first of next month and I appreciate your sharing your experience so much!💓

[@acceberebeccaable]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! This video you've made is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for the tips, thank you so much for creating this video.

[@santinak2429]

[@stephl6191]

this is so helpful! I just bought both of these things for my mom.

[@Lulu72623]

Great tips! Thanks❤

[@TsamchoeLhakhang]

Very strong

[@mjsalinas1032]

How and why do they make you go so early to your house after a surgery like that??? That's not normal where I am from, they are telling me that if everything goes well the minimum im going to stay is 3 days. A mastectomy is no joke

[@lbpalexcool1]

2 weeks before my mastectomy

[@queen-servant-of-allah2822]

I’m scared to shower 🥲

[@beansdream6522]

Girlfriend you are using and raising you arms so much more than you should. Please be very very careful.

[@hilthomas802]

Thank you! My surgery is in a week and this was so helpful!

[@jodiward6200]

So helpful!! Thank you!

[@littleviewscom]

I had a single mastectomy. My decision was that if there was no problem, do not take it out. Because of that, post surgery was not as traumatic as her experience. In many ways, removing both is a good idea because clothing will fit better. It is a big decision. The next step here will be radiation which, as time went on after sessions were done, triggered some horrible muscle cramping. Seven years later, I am still alive. You will be, too.

A wealth of good tips ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Prepping a freezer full of precooked meals, cleaning the house beforehand, giving yourself the time for a slow and good recovery (I’ve developed oedema around my scars, possibly because I started doing too much too soon…), these are things I’d like to add.
And having someone help with your laundry and changing of bed linen, so you don’t have to change, wash and hang up your own laundry, etc., are more tips I’d like to mention. (And I swear, I tried it the clever way: climbing up onto a milk crate, so I could reach the drying lines more easily 😉)
For me, having to deal with the oedema has been by far the worst part of my post-mastectomy journey.
Thanks for sharing. This was gold 🙏

[@reneeriquetcarr4829]

[@nina4885]

Thank you for all your tips. I am right now day 3 after my mastectomy and i am going through rough times. Hope you are all healed and healthy!

[@g9larose693]

My surgery is less than 48 hours away, and I'm pretty terrified. How are you feeling now, Nina, 7 months later? Hopefully so much better ❤‍🩹💟

[@CathiWarren]

Kayla, I wish I had found you sooner. I am now 8 weeks out and had some of the same experience sas you but would certainly have benefited from some of your tips. Thank you for this.

[@lifeofatruckermomfrmtherez3222]

I have my surgery Dec 28 . Feeling nervous now but this video helped

[@juliewatkins8127]

How are you now? Any updates?

[@kaylagrams7753]

Thank you for asking. I just went for my 2yr appointment and all looks good. I feel great. I joined CrossFit this year and can do most things other than jump rope! It’s too jarring on my chest. I feel good and am so thankful for early detection!

[@juliewatkins8127]

That’s great to hear!

[@racheldphelps]

24:21 thank you so so much for sharing your experience and tips. Extremely helpful! Best wishes ❤

[@MichellePadron-o8f]

I’m going to have a double mastectomy soon and your video was so helpful. Thank you for sharing your experience. Hope you are doing well.

[@annetten4166]

This was so helpful, thank you for making this video, so many good tips, and encouragement.

[@adacheeves5266]

Your words were so helpful and encouraging! I pray you’re doing well today!

[@VRayParrish]

This was so informative, thank you so much. I was just diagnosed so not sure when or how my journey will be.
Thank you again. ❤

[@lucyl6425]

Very helpful information. Going in for my surgery on Friday and needed to know what to expect when coming home so I could be better prepared so thank you.

[@debryan8513]

Thank you !!! Thank you very much! Love you!

[@wendymacmurtry5990]

So helpful

[@katbrown7886]

Thank you, this really helps!

[@r.nicole378]

I totally disagree that women should be sent home from the hospital the very next day after a mastectomy. It sure two full nights at the least before discharge

[@kaylagrams7753]

I am thankful they sent me home. No sleep in the hospital and I felt really good afterwards.
