just read your post about getting an infection. dont worry too much it will heal, i had the same thing around four weeks but my ps decided to give me six stitches so i have been spared the packing. i am now nearly ten weeks out and have now had the stitches out and it is healing nicely, just got a couple of scabs..honestly dont worry it will all turn out it just means longer healing time which is a pain i know, but hang in there.
that was the same as me melissa, very hard to take the deep breaths, but it will get easier i promise, each day gets a little easier, it sure is a long journey eh!
melisa, you will feel better day after day, just take one day at a time. do everything slowly and just take everything in your stride, if something does not get done, it doesent get done. do your morning routine then take the day to heal..it is a slow process but so worth it in the end. make sure you get up and about at least every hour for about ten mins if you can manage it and drink plenty of water and eat well, you need the food to heal good luck.
i am 8 weeks post op this week, and i can honestly say this week is the first week i have felt ok, still a bit stiff sometimes but defo on the mend, i have had my second lot of stitches out now what a relief and my scar is now starting to heal..oh what a journey it has been! but i still am so happy i have done it. how did yr check up go ? well i hope.
