10 days post op

kerri21 · October 20, 2010

im 10 days post op and feeling better every day. I went out and bought some stuff to clean my wounds on Saturday, so i sprayed it on and put on a big bandaid over my larger cut. I ended up being alergic to either the spray or bandaid and ended up with a big red, itchy spot with blisters (sucks). I couldnt handle the itchyness of it and wasnt sure if it was a bad reaction or i had an infection so i went to the Drs yesterday. Dr did say it was a alergic reation (thank god). I just need to make sure i get more Water and Protein in cuz I dont have much energy, its hard i have to remind myself to drink because i just dont feel hungery. Cant wait till next Monday till I can eat some diffrent foods.

Kerri,

I am glad to hear that it was not an infection! I am also happy to hear that you are up and about! I am confident that you will feel better every day!

Get your Water and protien in! Shortly you will be able to change your diet and I bet you are looking forward that. Take care and keep posting your experience, changes and thoughts. We are all with you!

hey Kerri!

I had the exact same reaction to either the bandaid or spray that they used because I had blisters around my incisions where the adhesive was. I just gently put neosporin on the blisters and they disappaited. They turned into scabs and are gone now... I also stopped covering my incisions about 7 days out.. I think that really helped. I am glad to hear that your feeling better and every week its so great to start on new foods again!
