Still Dealing But Getting There :) (New Pics)

So since my last update I've been back to the doctors twice. The rash is still there but its no where near as bad as when I got it. They are still telling me they don't know why I have it or what it is. After I had finished the antibiotics the prescribed me I went back to see them and things still hadn't gotten better. So they told me to try a week of nothing at all, and I did. This past Friday I went back and still no change from the last time. The PA told me she would talk to my doctor and call me about what they want to do. They have been avoiding and oral steroid because they are worried it could have a reverse affect. I never got a call so I will have to call them today and see what they say.

Otherwise, my hole has healed almost all the way and so have my splits. I do have to go back to have the hole area cut and sutured again so the came minimize the scarring, but hopefully after that I'll be done with everything. My breasts look a thousand times better than they did before the surgery and I'm enjoying them more each day. Just have to get out of this crazy mess of bad luck and I'll be good to go. I'll let everyone know what happens with the rash and the revision surgery. Hopefully it's all smooth sailing, but we'll see lol :)

The Bad News Is Never Ending :(

So went back to the doctors today..I am running a 102 temp, the redness has now spread partially down my abdomen and over to the right breast some. It's super hot and swollen, the redness on my abdomen hurts like I got punched in the ribs.

They told me they think it's a rash, but they have no idea why it just randomly popped out so quickly and badly. I havent used anything different or done anything different so I don't know. They prescribed me more freaking antibiotics and said keep the bra off and see how it is in two days, if not better I have to go back to figure out what's going on.

I feel like I'm dying, my skin is scorching, took tylenol. This really sucks, I was so excited yesterday that I was doing well, now this...Bad bad luck, sucks :(. I'll update you soon.

Frustrated :(

So I went to the doctors today and everything was starting to look better. A couple of hours later I was laying down on my left side (my good side) and haven't had any problems doing this, but when I got up my nipple hurt a little which it does sometimes. I went and cooked dinner and ate. My nipple still hurt a tiny bit so I went to check it in the mirror and noticed my entire left breast from the nipple all the way to the back incision and down was bright red and hot. I called the doctor they just said to leave it til tomorrow and see if it goes away and was just randomly irritated. If not He's going to start me on more antibiotics. I can't do this again, I'm almost two months post open and things were starting to look up so I reallllllly hope this is nothing. I'll let you all know tomorrow.
