Updating with new pics. You can't really see it, as I am hiding it, but my left side wound is getting bigger as I had my second debridement to remove dead tissue...I am trying to keep my head up. Figured I'd post the girls hoping for feedback, all glue and bruising gone. Also the [RS bleep] star look is diminished and the girls are softening. Thanks all! I'll keep all posted on my progress.

Hi, well...I guess they are right when you get a wound either separation or from necrosis, it looks worse before it gets better...I'm diligently doing saline dressings, showering twice daily and eating protein and taking vitamins. Posting new pics, hopefully in a week I will be brave enough to show lefty again.

You do the same. And guess what? When you're hanging out with your family, everyone is going to say how great you look and how you look amazing!! Nobody will even know that you are in the middle of overcoming a bump in the road. So, enjoy those compliments and let that positive energy keep you moving forward each day. You ROCK!!

After the debridement of the necrotic spots on lefty, I am so down. All I see is red around wound and yellow white inside dang it hurts. Righty looks fabulous. Posting pics so hopefully I can compare when all is said and done and this will be a distant memory.

You look great. Just continue to take good care of yourself. Feed yourself nothing but good healthy food. Loads of good lean protein and green leafy veggies. It's so crucial to healing and so overlooked by our PSs when they give us instructions.
They look great. Shape and size are perfect. Everything is going to work out just great. Promise.

Thank you so much Masissa. I truly hope so. I have to admit because of all my worry and anxiety, I have not had much of an appetite - but yes, great point, I need to eat clean and try to get that protein in. I am also going to take some additional B, A and C vitamins - hoping that will help me heal. you look amazing! I see them and say I will be there too eventually - just beautiful. I think that the other problem that is keeping me down is that I had the Lolliop procedure and a LOT of Lipo was done - the pain and burning from that is so not fun. Thanks for responding it means a great deal to me. Hugs.

Hey mrita! I think you look AWESOME in spite of what has occurred. I know what you mean about feeling bummed with a setback. When I was dealing with my reaction to the Tegaderm, I couldn't even seem to celebrate the BR because I felt it was overshadowed by the rash. Even now, with the horizontal incision underneath my right breast not being all the way closed, I find myself being consumed by that at times. BUT, we will get through these minor obstacles. I agree with Masissa to eat very nourishing foods. I also picked up some Vitamin C chewables and I take about 1,000 mgs a day. Going back to drinking my green juice each day and eating good protein as I'd gotten off track and was eating junk for a few days. Happy Healing and I'm looking forward to keeping up with your beautiful progress!
