8 Days Post-Op!!

So I'm doing great! I barely have ANY pain! I took the Percocet they gave me for the first day and a half...and then I started vomiting and could not keep anything down!! So that morning instead of taking hard stuff, I decided on nice my nice friend ibuprofen. Which has worked out just fine since then!! I cannot believe how little pain I am in! It really makes it hard because I feel like I am able to do what I want...even though I really can't!

Wednesday is my post op appointment with Lazzarini. So I get to ask him about the permanent device in my hip and also why one of the sutures sucked. It was ugly. They sutured too tightly. Oh well.

And tonight, I was cleaning my incisions and there was this clear, white stringy thing in one of them. It didn't come out when I pulled on it. So I think it's a dissolvable suture. We'll see. I'm not too concerned about it at the moment. I'll bring it up at my appointment Wednesday.

So my biggest annoyances are that I can hardly do anything for myself, and that bandage adhesive is giving me some serious contact dermatitis! I have to switch off using a huge gauze and tape with regular band aids. It SUCKS!! My incisions already itch enough as it is! I don't need the surrounding areas to itch as well!! UGH!! Oh well. I'll put up a ton of pics after my appointment Wednesday when I get all the pictures at my post op!!
