belly button drama

So at day 16 post op I had my hubby take a close up of my belly button since it continued to drain. It wasn't malordorous, painful or reddened so I figured it was part of the healing process. Afterseeing the pic I was freakedout! It was swollen, multiple colors and just looked funky. I called my ps office and emailed pics. Had an appointment the next day, I love how responsive the staff are. The next day I went in and was told that my dissolvable stitches hadn't dissolved and were causing inflammation and bruising. The nurse clipped the stitches and said it would stop draining in 3_4days. Since the appointment I have been watching it closely and taking daily pics. I keep it clean and covered. It has shown some improvement but not there yet. My incision is closed and not draining at all. At about day 4 as predicted no drainage. I'm doing wet to dry dressing as it seems to be the most appropriate for situation. Pics r not nice and look worst due to the nice photo enhancing camera phones. But it still looks creepy in person too, just not as vibrantly colored.

Playing around with 2 piece swim suit. I still have swelling although less than it was. Need to figure something out for the strecth marks (bio oil, mederma??).

Wow, look at you. I'm only one week post & I can't even sit up straight. Honestly I can't imagine shopping for a two piece but I guess that will be next :)
