missdianeLast weekend with Emily doing my wound care, by the time we got to Monday morning, it was looking pretty good. I told my doctor this, and she did think it looked improved aside from a little bubble of skin where there was a bump when i initially took off the surgical dressing. But she proceeded to scrape around in there and overpack it. I was uncomfortable after that, but trusted the process. When Emily went to change the packing the next day, it was like a clown car of gauze and was pretty saturated. I was rather annoyed since it seemed like it aggravated something that didn’t need aggravated. When I went in the next day to the doctor to have it changed again, I told her that I thought it was had been overpacked and then I was uncomfortable. She chuckled and did it again.
When Emily went to change things on Thursday, the gauze taped to my wound, didn’t look that great and was pretty saturated. Emily cleaned me up and didn’t think that it looked like there was any infection thankfully and got me packed again, but not too heavily. Around three this morning, the boy decided to barf up a hairball on my bed and I instinctively got up quickly to take care of it. I don’t know if it was that or just something else, but when I went to the bathroom, I noticed that the well taped wound had leaked, and when I took off the bandage it was a good amount of bright red. I felt bad waking Emily up to help but I was very upset. She got things inspected repacked and re-bandaged and said that it didn’t look immediately serious but yeah, definitely need to keep an eye on it.
I see the other doctor in the practice at 11:30 this morning and will express my concerns and hopefully we don’t have to do more than changing the packing and such again. I really don’t want to go in and have to have anything surgically fixed since I don’t do well with anesthesia and I don’t want more hospital time. I’m really tired. I thought things were getting better.
