Out 1 week today!
Its been exactly 1 week today from my surgery! If you had asked me if I would be feeling this much better on postop day 1-2 one week later I would not have believed myself. It does get better but don't be fooled...it is still painful at times and sore ALL the time. Just a little less every day. I got 3 out of 4 drains out yesterday. Yeah! Looks like this 4th one will be here for a little while. No big deal though. It is a relief to start getting them out. I am having issues with my incisions in my private area. They all look good but very raw since it is hard to keep them dry. I have found that I have to put this neosporin type cream on them a couple times a day (given by my PS) so they don't rub against my garment. The gauze seems to twist around and not give a good barrier. Any tips for this area is appreciated. I have a hard time peeing since it tends to leak on the gauze or incsicsions which then burns a little. I am concerned with this. Again any tips are helpful :-). Other than that everything is healing quite good and am thrilled with Dr S work. He is awesome! He tries to come by the hotel every day but does not make it all the time since we have him so busy! He has 4 of us girls in the hotel and in surgery with another today..Anyway, just wanted to give a quick update.
take care,
