Dehesion

On the inside side of my right areola I discovered an opening. Because I have Lupus, I swell and bruise more than others. The swelling split the incision a little. Maybe the length of a staple. Looks like semi firm egg yolk. So I was told to put polysporin on it with gauze and tape and begin the anti scar cream and tape on the other incision areas. I an pretty uncomfortable changing and treating the split area. 14 days as of yesterday. I have to slow down, let the breast wound close - no bending, reaching, lifting or getting my heart rate and blood pressure up too much. I has unreasonable expectations for how quick I would heal. This little opening slowed me down. I have to move at the pace my body wants.

Photos of day 5

Lots of bruising up and down the sides from contouring. Bleeding has stopped. Swelling is the same. Pain in my sides, back and abdomen is still notable. I complained of pain in stomach and was told nothing was done to that area, but there is visible bruising. I think having Lupus makes me more vulnerable to bruising.

What I really need to feel on Day 5

I am finding the recuperation a little more difficult than I thought it would be. I guess I kind of expected a steady improvement each and every day and here we are at day five and I feel as debilitated as I was on day three and day two. My pain is sort of very much a constant not terrible but not fabulous. My mobility is not terrible not fabulous. My comfort level is not fabulous. What I really need to see is that shift of daily improvement feeling the trajectory is moving upward.
