Itchy itchy itchy! This binder is really making my incision itchy! I can't stand it. I took a reactine and it helped! I'm even wearing a tank top underneath but it doesn't help much :(

I wonder if the belly button allergy will affect the outcome of your belly button. I am very scared about all of the tape and stuff as I have an allergy to many adhesives (including band aides).

My doctor took out the stitch that was causing the problem. He also took off the big ugly scab that was in it. It looks way better and will heal nicely. He said don't use bandaids and let it air out once in awhile. Let your doctors know about your allergy to adhesives I'm sure there's something else they could use ;)

1st follow up visit

Went for my follow up visit and doctor says everything is looking good.

He removed the drains which was the most awful feeling ever! The second one hurt. But it feels so good to have them gone!!

He also took off the steri-strips and the incision line is healing well but today they feel so darn itchy! I applied a bit of polysporin on it.

My belly button looks so gross it looks like a big scab! The doctor said I'm having a reaction to the sutures because of the redness around the suture line so he's going to remove them at my next visit.

Had my first shower in a week! It felt so good! Lol

I'm only taking Extra strength Tylenol every 5 hrs. Im not even sure if I need to take any pain meds because I'm not having any pain but I don't want to find out the hard way either. Like end up having pain because i didn't take anything.

I drove for the first time last night with no troubles.

Still taking it easy though. I'm Not overdoing it and still getting a lot of rest. It's only been a week so Lots of time to rest!
