I got my drains and stitches out today!!!!  I did have a small red area on my thigh near the incision, and it was a little warm to the touch, so the doc is calling in some antibiotics, and has also told me to put antibiotic ointment on the incisions for at least a week.  I go back for another visit on July 9th, and then I am off to Sacramento for a week of training for my job.  I have also gone from a 2xl garment to a large.....

I will try to remember to take some pictures in the morning when I have the garment off to shower.

I am so happy for you!  I started feeling much better after the drains came out.  A combo of time passing and just feeling free!
