I'm expecting the "few more days" thing again today. On Tuesday, I was given the option as to whether I wanted to change to steri strips but she was hoping I'd be ok with more time to avoid complications. It was the first time that I was given the choice so I thought that was progress. However, when Emily was changing the gauze last night, there was a not insignificant amount of red, but then again, the seroma that's near the gap seemed a bit flatter so maybe it was from that.

Not getting the hopes up today and yeah, it's taking way too long to heal but hopefully no steps backwards.

Also on the way home, my low tire light came on my car though I didn't notice my tires being off. We're going to head over to the gas station in a little bit to check the pressure and hopefully they're just a little low and not a sign of one having issues.

I finally got a call from Elaine last night, six weeks after my surgery. Naturally she talked about herself a lot and kept doing the "is there anything I can do to help" thing. Girl, it's been SIX weeks. Oh and evidently she and Josh were hoping that I could go to lunch with them sometime. Well, if I get things sorted out and the car is ok, by that time I may be back at work at the beginning of December. I'd say "fingers crossed" but they're starting to cramp.

In non health stuff, I want a couple of cold weather dresses. I've been more comfy in dresses for a while and normally I'd look at Lands End but lately the quality has been off. I got a pair of pants that shrunk too much in length and I have a super short 25 inch inseam. I also got a jacket that I hoped was heavier but I need one that'll be sturdy for winter. Has anyone gotten stuff from Vermont Country Store? Other suggestions? Need plus size since it'll still be a while before my gut shrinks any.

...to the Saint Peter's Wound Care Center. Woo.

We have plateaued with my "second bellybutton" as Emily calls it and so it's time to call in the experts and my doc has sent the referral over. I have an appointment Monday at 1:45 which Emily will take me to since she got VERY familiar with these folks when she was caring for her Dad.

Oh and the car didn't have any low tires, though one of them was slightly overinflated so we got them all to the same pressure and I recalibrated things to turn the alert off. Hopefully there's no more of that fuss.
