I had my two week check up today and I received a good report. My incision looks good and is healing well. I just have one small area that feels firm and I can use a warm pack and massage the area to loosen up the hard blood underneath. A few sootchers (sp?) made there way to the surface and they pulled them with tweezers and cut them. If I see this in the future I'm told anyone can cut then for me. It's better to cut them than let them continue to push out apparently. This all may be more than you wanted to know, but I promised to write about this journey to help someone else. I will continue to bleed a little this week and should dry out by the weekend. I'm not at a point where I can start letting my would air out.
Physical therapy is still going well and I've been using a cane for two days now. The pain is decreasing also. I made it 9 hours today without taking a pain pill. As soon as my bleeding slows down I can start therapy in the swimming pool - walking around :-) Oh my, I can't believe I almost forgot - I don't have to wear the compression stockings anymore!!! Yay me!
Most asked question: when are you going back to work?? Well I first need to get off pain meds and then we will see.
Ok I had a pretty full day today, so I'm off to relax a bit and hopefully have a great nights sleep without the continuous bathroom runs LOL!
