Hi ladies
i have not posted for a while. i developed a severe allergic reaction to the compression garment 2 week of the surgery. my doctor
told me not to wear the garment. Nothing helped and i still have it but it is getting better. I took every kind of meds except steroids. did not want to go that way. My sleep has suffered a lot and the itch has been killing. My drains came out yesterday. i had them for more than 3 weeks.
yesterday i had my 4th week post op and she told me that i should try wearing my gym tights as i needed some kind of compression. Guess what the allergy flared up and it was bad. so now i cannot wear any kind of compression garment or anything made of lycra. I have developed allergic reaction to it. I am using crotozone 10 cream and taking benadryl every 6 hrs. i a, loopy and fed up with the itch. using ice also helps.
hope you all are doing much better..

It has been 10 days today. i am doing much better. i still have the drains and it is coming out this Friday. I am glad that the drains were in so long because it helps in avoiding Seroma. I have been feeling much better and walking almost 90% straight, which is great. Still get tired if i over do things. Ladies do not forget to take your iron pills. it helps.

hi ladies i have added more photos. i will keep a weekly chronicle of my recovery in photos. I guess it really help to see where you were and where you are going...
last night was a bad move on my part. for some odd reason i decide that i wanted to sleep on the bed, bad move. i think at 3 in the morning i pushed the pillows from under my feet and that stretched my stomach too much and then i dreamt that my body was coming apart from my torso because i slept straight. i screamed at my husband to help me get up and he could not understand and he was pulling on my leg and i was screaming in pain.. and when i woke up, it was freaking real. Now i will sleep on my lift chair until i walk straight and swelling has gone down. but i am so tight.
happy healing to all.
