Surgery done 2/25 - Back in for cleaning/restitching 3/18

So, I just found out today that I will need to have my right vertical and the connection part of the anchor cleaned out and restitched on Monday. It has not healed up correctly. No infection that I can feel, but the incision is full of yellow slough, and it won't heal well without intervention. So, same day surgery on Monday. Sigh. And I have to sneak in a quick new, pre-op since mine will be 34 days, not under 30. And this was a complete last minute surprise to me, I mean, it needs to be done, but trying to get ready for all this on a Friday for a Monday surgery is a pain. I am glad I am not working right now, so I have the ability to do this.

Holy cow. Just saw the hospital bill and updated my total. Thank goodness for insurance.

I just got back from having my drains and stitches taken out. It didn't really hurt, a few stings here and there for the stitches and the drains didn't hurt at all. I am a little itchy right now and a little feeling like I want to treat these ladies like glass bubbles for a while! I can take a shower now, which is awesome. I was given some betamethasone cream for the scars and also told to put petroleum gelee (given to me by the dr.) over that, starting next week. I have a little bleeding/drainage from the drain spots and some stitches. Next follow up is in three months.
