A Little Bump In The Road...

Jan 18, 2009

So the itching and redness has intensified around my incisions and I can tell something is up.  I called my surgeon Saturday morning and he called me in some liquid meds, but so far they have had not effect. Called my friend/neighbor up and she came and took a look at it.  She's an RN and said it looks like I either have had a bad allergic reaction to the strips place over my incisions to help heal (which I removed myself on Friday), or the antibiotics I took prior to the surgery. Either way it looks bad ,and she gave me some Diflucan to take orally and cream to apply topically.  
No improvement today (Sunday), so I am a little down cause I just don't want any infections to set in the incisions.  Thankfully I have an appointment for my first check up with the surgeon tomorrow at 2:30pm, so I should know more then.  Trying to stay positive.  Otherwise I feel good, walking, getting as much liquid in as possible and doing my protein.  Hope everyone else is great.  Talk soon!  Debi
