A little hole to pack

I have an itty bitty teeeny weeeeny hole that has to be packed so it can heal. Everything else went well with my one week post-op. I didnt even feel that dreaded drain tube come out. I really was pain free til they decided to pack the hole one more time. I am glad they did though because my hubby is the one that is going to be the designated packer. They brought him in to watch. Now it is not infected. This is being done to prevent an infection. I just hope it doesnt take long to heal. Hugs to all and thanks for support Megan

it heals pretty quick. i didn't have to pack mine just kept a dressing over it. the thing that bothers me is the shot i have to take everday. thank god my last one is tonight. dave

Good to hear that it will heal fast. I am hoping 5 yards of packing will be enough to cover it. We use about 7 inches right now. I get my last shot in about 3 hrs. Will be glad to be done with that also. I did my first one, hubby has done the rest. Glad you are doing so well yourself. God Bless Megan

My surgery is on the 26th. I'm wondering, what kinda shot are you guy's talking about? Evelyn

Hi Megan, Wishing you all the best in your recovery! Deb

Sorry ya'll had this.....I've not experienced any drains, holes or self shots...not to 'brag' but to ease the mind of those pre-ops who may think this is standard for everyone.
