1st post op follow up with Plastic surgeon

This visit went well. A bit bittersweet though. 
He removed 2 of the 4 drains which was a good thing. 
Dr.  Advised to use arms as little as possible because the more I use them the more fluid my body will produce = drains not coming out. Alright then. 

The issue with not using my arms is that I feel really good and forget what I am not supposed to do. I think I may need a straight jacket!

In addition, there is a skin area on both sides that the blood flow is not well on. Dr said to start using an antibiotic cream in homes of avoiding infection in skin or tissue expanders. If skin doesn't improve this could mean additional out patient surgery to remove this skin and re-close. 

Thank you for your continued prayers!
Be Blessed!

  1. I searched for a straight jacket today and couldn't find one. I have duct tape though...some with pretty pink bows. Will that work? LOL Praying for your skin to catch up in the healing process.
