Well, I had my lower body lift on October 6th.  I'm now 3 weeks out of surgery and up until now I've had a smooth recovery and no complications.  Until now.

I just got back from my appt. with the surgeon.  Good thing I had an appt. because I was going to call him anyway.  I was getting pain in my left vaginal area right below my incision, like there was a big boil forming under there.  In the center of my abdomen, right above the incision, it's red and hard.  I was also concerned with the amount of swelling on either side of the redness.

Surgeon takes one look and says "Yup, you have a little infection.  You also have some areas of fluid and blood buildup."

Great!  He numbs me up with a couple of shots, which is no big deal as I'm mostly numb there anyway.  He opens up the incision and starts cutting away infected tissue from my incision area and belly button.  Blood is oozing all over the place and I feel instant relief.  It honestly looked like someone had been murdered in that room.  He continues to clean out the areas and suction out some blood and fluid.  He packed my wounds and I have to go back tomorrow and Friday so I can learn how to do it. 

Ahhh....the price I'm willing to pay for a chance at a normal body.

Well, the whole ordeal has exhausted me.  I'm going to give my pain meds a few minutes to work and I'm heading upstairs for a nice, long nap.
