  Thank youuuuuu. You literally eased my mind. If easing of the mind made a sound, mine would have been audible from a distance :P

  CKmia, seriously -- literally -- I am SO grateful for you. I felt so alone with all of this tonight and it actually pushed me to tears of frustration and worry. I don't cry easily, but all of this is a methaphor for other painful things in my life. (i.e. just when you think it's going well, it isn't, etc. etc.). I am also PMS ing. I can't believe you had incision split too, how did it happen? Were you tough meat hunks bruised or just super hard, almost cyst-like? I don't want to panic, but I googled it and read about fat necrosis and scar tissue lumps that require surgical intervention..... argh!

  One more question -- were your tough meat hunks there from the get-go post-op or did they appear during healing? Thanks!!

  Oh thank GOD!!!! You know, at first I had not a worry in the world regarding my post op healing. My surgeon told me my scars were healing remarkably well -- better than average even. I was calm, and happy. Then 3 weeks post op, I thought that all my incisions had healed enough that the thought of them opening was an impossibility. Wrong. I was massaging my swollen, hard breast to try to soften it up. One day, some dead blood (the colour of iodine) seeped out from a tiny tiny opening in the "T" incision (@ the meeting point of the T). It then became what I self-diagnosed as a hematoma. Dark red, blackness behind a very thin layer of stretched out skin in the shape of a triangle between the "T". I sent photos to my surgeon, who said not to worry. Easier said than done. Tonnes of liquid has seeped out, releasing the swelling so that the breast is now softer and matches my other breast more closely in shape and size. That's the good part.... bad part is the dark, thin, stretched out section of skin, that I worry will not heal nicely. So I am ever so frustrated that the path to recovery has had some bumps. It has made me into a worry wart! My mom's friend spoke of some hard lumps that never went away after her surgery. Sooooo, I was freaking about the hunks of tough meat in mine. How long before they started to go away?
