Surgery Recovery

Found a new true crime series that has 19 seasons! This will be good to keep me down since I am still recovering and now dealing with an infection 🙃

From my understanding, surgery could still be a possibility. I was pumped with 4 bags of iv antibiotics and I have oral antibiotics for home, since I never had a fever, and my white blood count was normal they determined it would be best for my surgeon to determine if I need a drainage surgery.

So I go to dr zimmers office tomorrow to find out my fate.

Surgery recovery

When a nurse tells you that you have a great scientific reasoning on why your experiencing the pain your experiencing. 🙌

Any who, week 1 update.

I am doing pretty well, expect around my belly button. Its really bad if im standing comes in waves when im sitting. So I sent a picture and explained what was happening. Then I explained that I have a lot of loose skin and that its estimated to be 20-30 lbs. (Im not supposed to carry 10 lbs) she said that more than likely the issue. Especially since I have no other signs that something surgerical could be wrong. No chills, no fever, its not hot to the touch not swollen. It is extremely bruised BUT I bruise easy and my stomach bruised with gastric bypass and gallbladder removal so I wasnt really worried about that

They are working on sending a script for a abdominal binder. To see if that will help when I am am up walking around.

1000 mg of Tylenol every 6 hours is what I am allowed for pain meds, as long as I do good with keeping it at every 6 hours its working fine.
