Well I found out what the huge swelling on the right side was it was a Hematoma.
I went to the dr. and he sent me to hospital to have it opened up and a hemovac drain put in.
Wow lots of blood came out that was why it was hurting so bad.  I knew we get swelling but I didn't think the swelling i had was average though was scared to complain too much about it in case i was just being a suck about normal swelling.  It feels a thousand times better now.

I had a hematoma come up 7 days post TT.  He opened me back up and drained out 1 L of blood.

It healed well after that.

I hope you do too!

Redheads are bleeders :-)  Wait, are you a redhead too?

yeah i had almost two litres taken out  and
yes i'm a redhead by birth. lol  I knew when the dr. had to take the drain out after only a week it could mean trouble like that.  I had trouble with both drains and she took one out hoping the other would take over but of course it didn't.  It sure was painful though before they got that blood out.

Oh Sandy, I'm so glad you got this figured out.  I was concerned when you mentioned the swelling.  Sending healing thoughts your way.  Hope you continue to feel better.
