7 days post op update with pics


update from my 7day post op appt. 

Sorry I forgot to post yesterday after my appt. I took pics but was not on computer to do comparison post.
I got sutures and surgical tape removed. 
I did not have my drain removed as I am still putting out to much fluid to it each day. As soon as 
I'm down to 30cc output each day it can come out. Hoping for Monday if I lay low this weekend it should go down. 
I got a new compression garment - like underwear/spanx with a side zipper/hook thingy. Its like wearing the bottom half of a onsie for grownups lol. 
Another dose of the antibiotic since I still have the drain in. 
He is very happy with my progress and so am I. 
So this weekend will be lots of lounging around so I can get this fluid down and heal up on the inside which is what is causing the draining. 
Oh and I slept in my own bed last night. Mike fell asleep watching tv and I snuck up alone to our bed until like 6 when his snoring ass joined me. It was not as comfortable as I have dreamed about over the last week but I know it will be better when I can lay on both sides - with the drain I'm pretty uncomfortable on my right side still.)
