  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

Beyond pissed off!

Today started out great, and then went to hell. I was trying to adjust my binder, and then felt a burning/ripping feeling below. Somehow (idk how because I was being gentle) I ripped my wound open worse, so now it's a gapping hole! My hubby was home when it happened, so that just made things worse because he flipped out. He was angry at anyone and everyone because he wanted someone to blame. He hates seeing me like this because he feels helpless. This is not ok, I seriously thought the worst part was over, but it just keeps getting worse. It hurts so damn bad and I'm just stuck back in bed AGAIN! I don't know what to do anymore.
I wanted to make sure I wasn't being dramatic, so I had him, and my best friend look at it to tell me how deep they think it is. They both say easily over an inch deep, and now it looks worse because the swelling is so bad. This is not what I needed at all... I have know idea how I'm going to pull tomorrow off.

Exhausted.

I've been having a hard time sleeping lately, and last night was the worst I've had in a long time. When I walk, my clothing and binder rub on my wond. Yesterday was a busy day for me, and it just caused more friction down there, so when bedtime rolled around, I was too uncomfortable to sleep. I try to position my clothing and binder carefully so that it's comfortable, and rubs as little as possible, but because of where it's located it's impossible to prevent.

Update

I went to my appointment today and the doctor said to keep doing what I'm doing, and I'll go back in a few weeks to see how the healing is going. Last week (I forgot to mention before) he went in and tried to remove excess fluid from my stomach, but it was very painful so he stopped. I've been concerned because there's a small hole in my stomach and it has been leaking, and I thought something bad was going on, but I found out that my body is removing the fluid itself and expelling it through that hole. He said I'm taking care of it well, and to keep it up. I have to have a revision on my hip, so if the scarring is bad I'll have that fixed too. I'm hoping it'll heal nicely, but so far it's not.
So, as frustrating as this all is, I'm grateful because it could be worse. I'm lucky that I have a great doctor who's keeping a close eye on everything, and stands by his work. Also, this is teaching me patience lol and that's always a good thing.
