    Awww Hun when the strapping comes of it makes the world of difference, It was that day that I started to feel more me instantly. Not sure who you had but i had singhs strapping, I found hard to breath wich was making me have panic attacks, I phoned the nurse and she said I could cut a V into it, wich helped, mayb give the nurse a phone Hun?

    Don’t worry Louenna, give it couple days and u won’t regret it 🙂 xxx

    Is it becoming a bit much now Mel? Its shite isn’t it 🙁 …..When i called nurse last night she said that she could see about maybe taking it off tomorrow so maybe like cherry said give her a call and see if they can remove it earlier….i think i’m going to see what tomorrow brings and make my final decision then cause i know that really its best to keep it on but it is a big ask with the amount of discomfort….xxxxxxxx

    Hang in there Mel, you’re doing well. The first few days are tough but then you’ll be ok. I was ok at day 3/4 then when I got the strapping off it was a turning point and I’ve felt amazing. xx
