Hi all sorry I have been MIA here is a 5 week update
Hi all,
Sorry I haven't been on here and thank you for thinking about me. I went back to work on the 17th (a week later than was supposed to) and it has been really busy so haven't had time lately to get on here. Anyway, I had a drain put back in on the 7th and they left it there for a week and had me on Levaquin. When they took it out after a week there was a spot that was swollen on the other side that he told me to keep an eye on and put the heating pad on it and it opened up the next day and started draining on it's own. It is still draining to this day so have to keep it bandaged. I am on another round of Levaquin for a couple more days, but the drainage is starting to slow. Not too much pain thankfully and have started to do some exercising in the last coupleof days. My husband and I had our 1 year anniversary on Sunday and we took some pictures which I will post. Thank you all for your concern about my well being and I hope everyone is doing good, I miss being on here and will try to check in more often. I am at my "ideal weight" which is great and everyone tells me not to lose any more so we will see what happens. I haven't lost any more in the last week or so.
The sides have quite the puckering but other than that I think it looks ok. Let me know what you think

Glad to know you are ok! We were worried about you when you disappeared...but life happens, so it's all good! Off to look for new photos.
ETA: wow, you look great! Happy Anniversary! My hubby and I are celebrating 20 years on Friday.
