Still Healing

So everything is looking good per my ps. At my Friday appt (day #8) ps had to w/d 150cc fluid from left side. Remember I don't have a drain on that side. Other than a lil sick from needle it was no big deal. I'm in need of another compression/binder because mines is causing pain/discomfort in panty area. I've tried different things with no relief so I'm going to buy a waist only one. Last night was another successful sleep. ... yes!

Binder action!

Few updated pics 4 days post op. Today I'm trying to sleep in bed for second time. My back has been killing me because I've been sleeping in a recliner. Not taking pain meds since 2nd day post op. I went to ps appt yesterday without binder. He wasn't happy. I put it on soon as I got home. F/u appt Friday

horrible night!

I kept feeling a stitch pulling at left tube opening. It started where I only felt it when I stood up but later when I was reclined back. I called ps 5a. He told me some things to do like milking clot out of tube. After 3 calls& a mess at my house I got the clot out. This did nothing for the pain & appeared that tubing want draining fluid. so he told me I can cut
stitch and pull drain. I was able to wash self up and then the same pain hit me. I believe it's a stitch inside that is pulling when I stand up.
