20 days post-op

Well, my drainage is not slowing down yet, but my fever IS getting better. The past 2 nights I haven't needed to take anything in the middle of the night to keep my temp down & now during the day I only need 3 or 4 doses of Tylenol, so it is getting better. I have yet another appointment next Monday, we are a bit tired of driving there so often. It's kinda sad when the valet parking people start recognizing you, just sayin!

I figured my drain was getting upset, so I've named him Kyle. The stitch that had been securing that drain to me disappeared, so Doc gave me another one today & I can hardly contain my enthusiasm at having it secured to me yet again, that lovely stitch that tugs on my skin oh how I love thee. Doc doesn't seem concerned about my drainage, better out than in for sure. He has no explanation, just says that he has seen it before with some people. My specialness has to do with the fever combo I guess.

I took new pics this morning & I am really liking how things are looking. My right implant is dropping, Hubby says the left one is too, just slower. My left pec is definitely stronger & tighter than my right, but it'll get there. Doc also took off the steri-strips that had been on all incisions today, so time for more healing there. There are only a couple scabs, things look good.
