The Dominican and continuing the journey

Well, I can't believe that my surgery in the Dominican is less than two weeks away! Ok...the surgery is a bit more, but I will be somewhere warm in two weeks! I have to go early since the surgeon wants to run some additional tests. Since I have seizures, he has me set up to see a neurologist. I also have a bit of a thyroid problem and will be seeing a specialist for that too! Man!!! Easier to get a specialist appointment in the Dominican than to wait here in Canada!

I have continued my story and my journey on another posting.

Blisters caused by Disolveable Stitches

Well, I love my surgeon! Even as he's cutting my scar open and gouging out the infected are .....he's joking with me!.....or am I joking with. Him? Lol. He said the blisters are caused from my body still fighting the disolveable stiches! Oh joy! and if they continue to fester and blister, I have to go under annestetic again and he will open up my scar and remove the dissolveable stiches. Ok...that is not something I want! Especially since my TT and other surgeries are planned for this month....less than three weeks away!

Blister along the surgical scar

I have had problems with the disolveable stitches....but not I am getting blisters along my surgical scar. Also a red rash. The blisters are really sore and become either filled with puss or bright red blood. I have been trying to keep the area dry and covered with a fungicide to help,with the healing, but it doesn't seem to be working. So next Tuesday I will visit my surgeon and see what he has to say about the problem. Hopefully, it will just be the stitches coming out and nothing to worry about.
