Surgery went well. I'm so happy to say that my breast look good, not deformed at all like I thought I would be. The surgeons ended up going with a different plan once they got in there. However with how good they look, comes the HORRIBLE pain. I never knew someone could survive in this much pain. Its truly agonizing. Its from the stretching of my skin, and bruising...etc. They swept me out the door still since I have no reg. insurance but they gave me enough pain meds to keep me knocked out and I'm literally drifting in and out of consciousness even now, this is constant. I'm on Fentanyl patch 75 mcg every two days, 60 mg, MScontin, which is time release morphine every 12 hours, 16mg of delaudid every 3 hours, ativan whenever I want it, and countless other meds such as antibiotics, stomaach meds...etc. I'll post a couple pics then I'm done online for a few days.
This is my left ear, they removed the back of my ear then did skin flaps from my neck.
This is my right breast area, left looks the same pretty much. You can't tell in this pic, but there are incisions going all the way across the bottom of my breast as well. All the dark lines are incisions, and you can see the bruising, which is spreading. The skin is so tight its unbearable. I also have two drainage tubes one on each side of my breast.
Looks so painful =( Hope it heals well and stops hurting so much soon hun <3
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update sweetie! Hopefully the pain will subside more & more in the next few days. Praying for a speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteoh hun it looks dreadful- I dont know how you all do these surgeries, no HS pain looks like it could hurt as much as those incisions :( Get rest, feel better soon! <3 you!
ReplyDeleteMaph,
ReplyDeleteyou are much stronger than I was when I had this done. I was in hospital for a week and barely moved.As much as I like to be online I couldn't even reach for the keyboard. The surgery sight looks really good. Be thankful you did not have a skin graft because that was painful and along time healing also. I pray that you will soon get relief from the pain, but I'll be honest it takes a few weeks and please rest.
Thanks all. I appreciate all the kindness.
