Keep on chugging along

I've been to the doctor 2-3 times a week to check & drain over the past 6 weeks. Then I was restitched at one point.... Hopefully I'm getting n the mend and can just enjoy my new body. And get back to the gym! I am not allowed to do anything still. No vacuum, groceries, laundry- NOTHING. So I'm getting a little crazy. And worried all my not working out & over eating will start going bad... But I went tanning for the first time in two years today. It was a glorious 5 minutes. I bought a new suit to keep my scars still covered. I'm still using mederma and I've seen a big difference.

Back to Doc

I went back Monday because my stitches were opening more & bleeding. The doctor took 3 syringes of fluid out and sent to the lab for testing. I'm on my way back today for results and to see if/what we are doing about this wound situation....

I hope today is a good day...

Thursday, two weeks post op of surgery #5, I was supposed to have my stitches out. I thought also I would be cleared for exercise. But the Dr. didn't like the way my wound was looking. They didn't want to pull the stitches out yet because it was a weak area to begin with. Also they asked about the redness I have on the wound. They gave me antibiotics and I was supposed to go back a week later. Well over the weekend my stitches have split and bled... so today I am making another trip to the Dr. I have made at least 24 trips there and it's 1.5 hours away. I should just move there at this point. Just kidding... hopefully this is all over soon and my biggest worry is what cute outfit to wear......
