Old Navy Size 6
With all hat has transpired, I refused to buy new clothes until I could get through this trial, however, I was standing in a grocery store recently reading a cereal label and my pants fell down to my ankles! I’d taken to wearing suspenders under my clothes and the clips gave way. I ran over to Old Navy and tried on smaller pants/shorts having no idea what size I am. Turns out, I’m a size 6 or an 8 now! I was a solid 12 before surgery. I’ve even gained weight since the surgery because I’m restricted from sweating which would further impede wound healing. No workouts, no walking. I initially lost 16 lbs after surgery and have gained back 5 lbs.
Skin rash after silicone tape left on for 24 hours
I was lazy and didn’t remove my silicone tape after the surgeon’s recommended 12 hours. I developed a red, itchy rash, but only on my breasts. Has anyone else experienced this?
My friend...the wound vac.
As part of my recovery after sustaining an infected hematoma and subsequent reopening of my TT incision and clean out, I received a wound vacuum placement. Dressing changes are painful. Initially, I would take a Norco and Xanax for my pain, anxiety and nausea with dressing changes, but by week two, I’ve begun going without. It’s unpleasant, but not intolerable and with three dressing changes a week, I got tired of narcotic haze. I’m still caring for my children/house/studying which doesn’t work well on drugs.
My only frustration is that the wound vac makes lots of noises resembling extreme flatulence. I get embarrassed going places because of the snickers which probably isolates me me more. Still, even if it screamed “this lady pooped her pants!!!” I would still use it because of the reduced healing time. I have to get on with my life.
