Correction
After reading my last review, I had wrote 5 months of healing, but my BR was March 5th, so it has only been 3mos. Guess it just felt longer. Wasn't so bad after all. LOL. I'm just glad it's almost over. I feel Great! :-)
Rocky Road coming to an end.
When I last wrote I said I just hoped I would be healing better before I saw him this time. Well, I Went to see my surgical doctor that has been taking care of my infection today. He says he is very pleased with how much better things look now. I had the wound vac taken off last week and am healing very good so no need to hook back up. I feel so much better, no more pain. He told my wound care nurse I don't need to have packing in the wound just clean, Bacitracin and dressing daily at home and checked by wound clinic 1 day a week for 1-2 weeks then I will be done. Yay, whoop, whoop! I am thrilled. Hubby will be changing my dressings at home now. I have posted a couple pics, after all the girls have been through they are looking pretty good. Thank-You all for being here with your kind words, they truly helped a lot. Those that are contemplating a BR, don't let my set backs discourage you as I still don't regret my decision and will have more good come from having it done. I may have had a longer more colorful recovery than most but 5 months of healing in exchange for the rest of my life without the issues that I had the surgery for to begin with. (Back, neck, shoulders...etc) plus the big bonus, Pretty, Perky [RS bleep]'s for the first time in my life! It's been quite a ride but the end result is well worth the trip. Bless you all.
Double set back.
Well, 10days after 1st infection I had to have surgery on my left breast for same issue. I have had a "Y" piece of tube to attach both breasts to the same drain vac. Still go every Mon. Wed, and Friday to Wound Clinic for dressing changes. Saw Doctor yesterday and was told I am healing slowly and if I am not healed properly in the next couple weeks that I should see my PS or get a second opinion from another would clinic to see what else we can do to help me heal. The right breast was 15cm deep in the beginning and is about 8cm after 3weeks. The left was 5.5cm and is 4.25 after 11/2 weeks. I just hope I heal before then but I am kinda scared. I don't blame anybody, I know this rarely occurs after a BR surgery, ( like 1%) I just hope both my surgeons will talk and come up with a plan of action. I'm a good patient willing to do what ever I need to. I can't wait to get past all this. I still don't regret having the BR, only this infection. Trying to keep my spirits up but it's been a long painful issue. Has anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions? HappyHealing All!
Provider Review
Dr. Schreiber was wonderful! Though I didn't see him a lot, initial visit, then at the hospital prior to surgery but he was caring and professional and made me feel very comfortable. I am sure if I need to see him he will do so. He definitely knows what he's doing and his office staff was very nice and helpful before my surgery and at my 1wk follow-up. I go back again at 4 weeks. Never waited more than 5 mins. at appts. Definitely A Happy Camper!:-)
