My last visit to the surgeon and wound care specialist went really well. Things are healing so nicely now that I no longer have to go in once a week - now I'm only going in once every two weeks....
-
This past Wednesday, the wound clinic doctors took me off the wound vacc! The open wounds that happened post-op of my breast reduction have finally begun healing well enough that now I'm applying...
-
It's been another two or four weeks, and I'm still on the wound vac. I've been following the doctors' instructions, and things are healing much better - but I still have the darn thing. They said...
-
Been a couple of weeks since my last update here. That's because I've been dealing with some serious problems.The wounds didn't get infected - an infection burst through from deep inside. I had to...
-
Now, not only do the stitches itch, but they're splitting open - it's like a zipper opening in slow motion. The surgeon has seen it, and calmly said "Oh, this is normal. Don't let it bother you....

-
I've been continuing to sleep on the right side of my body, and the rate of healing there has jumped drastically. I'm talking about visible changes from morning to evening. I can actually measure the...
-
I figured out the one thing I've done differently, left side vs. right side, that made a difference in how each side has healed. I sleep more on my left side - and it healed much quicker than the...
-
Hehehehe.Ok, my surgeon has begun talking about setting up an appointment for scar reduction, and has loosened the restrictions on how much weight I am allowed to lift. I don't go see him again until...
-
Well, as of this morning, my left breast has healed completely up. The skin is still thin in a few small spots, but it IS skin now. There is itching still - as the skin grows thicker - but it's a...
-
Well, I'm still healing - the left side is almost totally healed up now. The right side still has a patch about 4"x2" to grow back skin... but even it is showing progress - new skin visibly filling...
