Ok having the drain out was not as bad as I thought.  Now redressed until I see the consultant next week.  Both my boys are out and I am home alone.  Hubby has gone back to work, my son has gone to collect his new car and then going to his girlfriend's for new year's eve.  

I decided to try wearing a bra yesterday, might have been a bit soon, as I am still a little swollen, it was sore after a while.  We had visitors last night and had a lovely lunch out yesterday with my hubby, son and daughter, not something we do very often anymore.  

Have visitors again later today, don't think I will be staying up to see the new year in this year, not alot of point for just the two of us, but next year! There's going to be a party!
