I'm now a t-Rex!! Rarrr!! So did I even mention I was having surgery Oct. 24? Well I did- just to excise two lesions under my left arm. Imagine two bites down to the muscle then stiched up. Ouch, yes. BUT not TOO bad.
Pain pain only lasted about a week, but now it's just very tender & sore. I have/prefer to keep my upper arm against by side to stabilize my underarm. When I'm out & about or active around the home, I am most comfortable in wearing my sling.
-Hence my new self given nickname Rex. :p
Although I'm dealing with some complications. The incisions isn't behaving! It immediately became infected and I had to see an infectious disease specialist. However, the antibiotic has started cleaning it up as fast as four doses.
As and the incision popped open in two areas to boot! Yuck! Other than keeping up my wound care, all we can do pray they heal up on thier own in enough time. If not, well, my surgeon will have to perform a second surgery and close the holes with a skin graft. No! We did that! I The donor site hurts like holding your hand on the hot stove, but you can't take it off. :( Yeah, so praying for self-healing!
Well, that's all for now. :) I just wanted to say hi & I'm really doing pretty well. :)
Oh! Here's our pumpkin!! :D
