Well I was back at the hospital yesterday and had another 20 mls drained from poorly boob. That's 330ml over 5 visits - crazy!! Consultant says everything is going in the right direction and I get a slight reprieve as instead of going every other day for treatment I don't have to go back until Friday!! Another week and a half left on anti biotics. Apparently these things take a long time to heal. I hope when I go back no more has built up, not sure my boobie can take much more. Will add pic of bruise!

Just been back to hosp and ha another 50 mls drained :( that's 300 mls in 5 days!
At least the volume is decreasing though. On another two weeks of anti biotics so think I might get some pro biotics to help tummy. Back again on fri for another u/s and hopefully last drain or even better none at all. Poor boobie is very bruised from all the needles, but at least it is getting better.

I went back to the hospital today for my review, and had another 95 mls of fluid drained from my breast, not pleasant! But still, better out than in and I'm feeling so looked after. I have to go back again on Wednesday for another check, they said that it is good that the amount of fluid is reducing, but still an awful lot to be draining off.
I'm disappointed with the PS team, having been dismissive of me having an abscess in the first place, to then having one diagnosed, their concern has been somewhat limited. In comparison to my initial experience for my BA, I do feel a little let down this time - they were supposed to call me for an update today following my check up, but haven't.
On the plus side, my boob is starting to feel my like a boob and look less like I have an implant still in there, I have also been able to pick up my baby more confidently on the right hand side (the one with no problems) and give her little cuddles. Same goes for my toddle, she has been able to snuggle in for her bedtime stories, feels so good.
Size wise, I seem to be settling and comfortable in a 34C sports bra, I have tried the 34B but it is too tight. To be honest, I'm not bothered about the final size, I have the awful implants out and feel lovely with soft natural boobs. Yes I've lost my resting place for a cup of tea, but in return I've got the confidence to stroll round topless and feel great!!!
Hope all is well with everyone else - touch wood, the itchy phase has passed now. Xx

Recommended via family. I did feel like Mr Karidis had plenty of time for myself and my husband, but that some of his team were a little less accommodating. Little sympathy / concern for the cost of additional tests required p, but I guess I may not be a typical rich customer!! 19/11/12 - feeling less than impressed with aftercare especially with a confirmed abscess.
