It's been about two and a half weeks since my last surgery and everything is going pretty well. I still have my drain and scheduled to see surgeon weekly. Was getting out and about, but think it was too early. Since yesterday, I have been feeling quite a bit more pain and have needed some harder pain meds than Tylenol. I also seem to be swelling a bit more. So I'm resting and icing all day today. I was looking at my old bra compared to this new one and wow what a difference. Of course, I'm still in soft bras or sports bras.

Feeling Hopefull, but I'm human
I did find out on this past Monday the cultures did grow out an additional infection. It appears that the moist areas and drainage of fat necrosis is a breeding gown for staph. The particular staph I had was epidermis. So it came off of my skin. I tell you I am supposed to change my dressings daily, but I get freaked out about exposing my incisions to the air. The dr said it was nothing that I am doing or it would have affected both breast. She said it's just something that happened. She was very aggressive in the amount she removed and it will probably leave me with one breast larger. The hope is with scar revision on the left side and the bit of fat she removed there that there isn't a big difference. She said she wished she had been more aggressive with the second surgery, but didn't want to leave me lopsided. It is also something I have read on many Drs reviewed that she did what she was supposed to do. They said when you are aggressive you tend to take good tissue out too. Well with this last surgery, dr. Duckett scraped and removed all of the dead tissue. I've been home now for 3 days after a weeks stay in the hospital. I'm feeling good but honestly just want the time to hurry up and go away. I'm spending today just sleeping. I don't want to get out of bed. I don't think I'm depressed, but I know I am very tired. Very very tired.

You are so brave. I have read through many stories where the ladies had the same kind of troubles you are having. In the end things turned out very well. It is amazing how even after some very ugly accesses when it is all done the breasts look fantastic. Don't loose hope.

Thank you both for your encouragement. It has definitely been an uphill journey.

Back to Surgery
Well, update a month later and I'm back for another surgery. I had to have another debriedment on yesterday to my right side and scar revision on my left. No infection. Just fat necrosis. Caused the skin to boil over and pop continuously. I love the fact that I have smaller breast though. After this last surgery, I'm not quite sure what my cup size will be. I am hoping that my breast are somewhat even but only time will tell.
