Yay finally!

I am drain free! ADIOS KYLE!



So I had another weekly appointment today & my right drain came out. That was a BIOTCH! The stitch was quite tight & I sucked it up but dang getting the stitch out hurt! The drain itself being pulled out burned in the hole area & I actually felt it inside. The burning was only for a little bit though, and feeling it move inside was just strange (nothing bad about it though). I can deal with stinging & burning to get rid of it! So they made my binder tighter than usual (said to keep it that way for today), put extra padding around the lower ab area for extra pressure to get any liquid out today I guess. It should seal up today & that is that! FINALLY at 27 days post-op!

So that area in the previous blog with the circled area on the abs I put up. Well, that's a concern of mine. I've noticed it limits my standing straight (aka stops me from standing straight) and when it's being pulled/stretched in the center it feels like a raised area. So I asked Doc about that today & he thinks that could've been the area I injured that 2nd night post-op when I was trying to lay in bed & tensed my muscles. So I'm thinking it'll just be slower to heal & is why I'm taking longer to stand straight. Hopefully it won't stay a raised area months down the road.

My next appointment is in 4 weeks *YAY* and next week I can start doing light workouts!! THANK GOODNESS! Lawd knows my arse is getting softer than I like it (aka growing from lack of usage haha), so yay!

OH! I forgot. I asked Doc about recommended scar stuff & he said Mederma (since it's the only stuff that has been tested) you can get that at any pharmacy, over the counter. I even got a small sample & coupon. Of course I'm not starting any cream yet though, not until there are no more scabs. I might try the sample on my BA scars though [next week] since those are totally healed, to make sure I don't have a reaction.
