目が覚めたら、というより、看護婦さんに起こされた

 

家族が私を見ていた

手術が終わったんだ

 

反射神経で大丈夫だよと伝えたかったけど、喉にパイプが入ってたせいで喉が乾燥してて声がうまく出せなかった

 

手術は乳がんの部分摘出

手術後もドキドキだったけど、薬を飲んでる分には耐えられない程の痛みはなかった

 

When I woke up…or rather the nurse woke me up

My family were all there watching over me, including my sister who came after work

My surgery was done

 

I tried to tell them I was ok, but the pipe which had been down my throat during surgery had made my throat dry and my voice didn’t come out smoothly

 

My surgery was lumpectomy and the wound was minimal, so as long as I was taking painkillers, thankfully the pain wasn’t unbearable
