Back on Antibiotics.
Ten week update. Still having issues with the left side. Stitches have been poking out in various spots and they are sharp. You would think by 10 weeks they would be softer. Those locations have been swollen, oozing, and uncomfortable/painful. I've been putting band aids over the areas to reduce rubbing. Last night 3 areas on my breast opened and were oozing pus/blood. Breast is sore. I called Doctors office and first available appointment is Thursday. I offered to email a photo of my breast just in case I need to start on meds and sure enough they called and I'm back on antibiotics. These dissolving stitches don't dissolve very well. My body is rejecting them.
I eat a high protein diet so I don't think this is nutrition related. Very frustrating! This is the first surgery that at 10 weeks out I'm having so many issues.
P.S. I don't know why one photo loaded upside down. Sometimes that happens when I'm posting to this site.

So sorry you had to deal with all these issues. Did you work during that time and how are you feeling now?

Elevate- just a helpful tip.
Did I mention that during recovery you want to elevate your arms? Very important as it reduces swelling and is more comfortable. I slept on my back with my arms elevated a good month. Also kept them elevated while watching TV.

Why did you give him 1 star ratings? Your body looks fabulous, and I am trying to find a surgeon; was he ok?
