The wound. Has just slowly gotten got bigger, Now we r at 5 weeks post-op PS wants stitch me up now that some of the tension from the swelling has loosened a bit but it is still hard bruised & sore. I had 2rounds of an anitbiotic then had it cultured found a bacteria that was resistant to the 2 antibiotics i was on i then took a different one for 7 days, I need to stay heathly & don't want to show my children how scared i' am.

My dr. Is great, but sometimes they r a little rushed when in the room because they have so many clients that go to them because they r good, but they have taken care of me with kindness.

Did you have your surgery? Are you doing okay? I am so sorry this has happened to you? How are you holding up?

I am sorry you are going through this. I had very similar experience. I did not completely heal for 6 months. It is a long road and I recall the PS telling me it would take time and yes it did. While there is scarring it is not as bad as I thought it would be. I hope your recovery is much faster than mine.

Well going to have a third surgery to fix it all later this week or the begining of next week, we need some of the swelling to go down cause it is still hard it feels like there is a hard implant in there I don't know why it is still like that 5 weeks post op, people can't believe that I am not in pain with this open wound & 3 kids under the age of 7, but us moms r strong, I will post a pic after surgery wish me LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

How are you holding up?

Sorry you are going thru this. Some folks just heal very slowly no matter what the surgery. I hope you are getting lots of antioxidants now, and vitamins and protein... and avoiding cigarettes and alcohol.
