update on split

 I think the split in the incision is slightly larger now so I called the doctor and they can't see me today. I have to wait until tomorrow. I am not to happy about it. I guess I will have to wait. Its really starting to bug me. It is on top of the tendon at the top of my leg and every time I move it hurts and rubs.  I am trying to keep it dry and clean but because of where it is I am having a hard time keeping things in place. I also do not think my eyes are looking any better. I know I haven't waited long enough but I still have the same bags under my eyes I had before and now have scars too. I guess I am a little depressed because of the problems. They said to clean the wound with peroxide. Not sure if thats a good idea or not. I sure hope I feel better about it tomorrow.

Praying everything is ok

Sorry to hear about the split getting worse.  I hope they can fix everything tomorrow for you.
While you are there you should mention the eyes to the surgeon...ask if you are expecting too much so early or if you need to just wait a little longer.
Best wishes on for tomorrow and the rest of your recovery.

I would be PISSED. 

If you have an incision that has split open, it needs his attention ASAP.  To put that off, even just another day, will not only make treating it more painful for you, but could make it more difficult and the end results more unsightly. 

I would call and demand to get worked in today. 

hope you are feeling better and tomoorrow is almost here.
the hardest part of plastics is the waiting for the results I just had my eyes done also and I felt the same way but now I am 4 weeks out and they do look better the swelling has gone down
good luck tomorrow

When the bend of my hockey stick incision opened up on my right leg I was freaking and felt like I'd messed something up..moved wrong or something.  We took a picture and sent it to the doctor.   It was between 2 and 3 inches long.  I thought the entire thing was going to open up.  The next day, the other leg did the same thing.  He told me that I could come in for him to peek at them if I wanted, but that the thing to do with them was to leave them alone.  My drains were working.  I was making sure it wasn't going to get infected (and on antibiotics).  I was so upset that I was going to end up with this wide scar when they healed. 

That bend for me was a major stress point.  The release of the opening helped settle things down.  The opening healed fine and now there's not much difference with the scar in that area versus the scar on the rest of the thigh (which I can hardly see in places)
