    I had bmx with prepectoral reconstruction two days ago. After surgery, they put some foam blocks above and below my breasts and wrapped it all up with something that looks like Saran Wrap. The wrap is DRIVING ME NUTS. It is itching so much that I have to take Benadryl so I don't claw myself to death. Anybody have post mastectomy itching after surgery? The PS said it's probably an allergic reaction to the wrap. I have an appointment with him on Monday and will probably resort to wearing mittens to bed so I don't scratch in my sleep. *SIGH* If it's not one thing, it's another.
