I was admitted for an elective Right skin sparing completion mastectomy, followed by immediate Right breast reconstruction with ipsilateral free DIEP flap surgery under the care of Plastic Surgeon Dr Bernard and Dr Robert a couple of months ago. The combined surgery was a success with revision to be conducted at a later date. To the Fellowships (Lisa, Nick and Cheng) thank you so much for the wonderful care you gave me and for all of your kindness and attention after my surgery.
Ward 6H Nurses (Jeannine, Emma, Madi, Nalini, Dorothy, Michelle, Nadia, Letitia and Amber) apologies if I missed anyone. I felt you all worked tirelessly on the ward (back-to-back shifts) and always with a smile. The level of care I saw not only for me but I feel for the other patients were at the highest standard. Thank you so much for all that you do.
I would personally like to thank Pei, my first around the clock Specialist Nurse. You constantly observed my DIEP flap for color, warmth and temperature and ensured that I had the upmost care during the first 24 hours. Thank you for taking good care of me and for being so caring. I believe you were one in a million.
Thanks to you all - I'm recovering well from home.
