6wks Post Exchange Surgery

So, I'm 6 weeks out and not feeling too good. I'm extremely tired and my body is SO weak. I wish I could do more but, I just can't.

At my 4 week mark the left side of my incision started to open so my Dr said I needed to take things extremely easy. He even had my husband take off work. I rested and when I went back the next week for wound care it was almost completely healed!! YAY!! So I thought. I however got more bad news. I guess the lower part of my breast was showing signs of skin breakdown which meant gravity was pushing my implant so hard against my skin. They are worried that the skin will start to give....and maybe even open! WHAT!!!??? Oh my!!! They were even more concerned about that! I was to continue to do nothing and just rest....ugh....

This week I went in again for wound care...now 6 weeks out and everything seems to be healing well. I still have to go in every 2 weeks but, he cleared me to take a shower, light swim and even relax in a jacuzzi for a short time of course. He still wants me to keep it dry and not go too crazy...haha!

I'm doing good...just tired....It's been a LONG 7 months.

Denise xoxo!
