06-02 One-Week Check Up

Submitted by solinox on Wed, 06/02/2004 - 22:36
Doctor says it looks good.  The front of the incision was oozing a bit at the T intersection, probably because of my trying to wear panties and overalls too much the last couple of days.  But, good news!  The left drain came out!  You can see where the drain went in, in my 3-day pictures.  Would you believe the other end of that drain was up almost to my chest?  More than 6 inches long!  No wonder it hurt!  I didn't get the other drain out, but the left drain was actually the most painful, so I'm feeling a whole lot better today with it out.  Other than that, everything looks normal.  He also took the gauze out of my bellybutton, although the stitches are in, and the nurse said it looks good enough to pierce.  I was thinking the same thing.
 
Also, I can roll over onto my side now!  It takes a bit, and it's a little uncomfortable to get there, and I can't stay for long, but I can do it.  I slept so much better last night.
