Dr said I can drive from now if I feel up to it. So going for a spin later, with hubby in the car just in case.
Yesterday I had to pop back to hospital to have one of my 'stabs' checked out. (I love that the technical nurse term is stab, not incision, or wound, nope stab). One had lost its waterproof dressing and was looking a bit suss. Sent a pic to a nurse friend who said it was better to be safe really, so I headed in for a check.
Got seen by a wound specialist (fancy) who said it was normal healing but she would redress anyway. She also removed all dressings with the hope they could stay off, but decided to redress those too. She said they were probably ok, but she felt better about giving them a few more days. The original sites were pretty bloody and yuk so at least the new dressings look nicer.
Planning to head to work tomorrow. Dr has said no teaching until next week, but tomorrow is just meetings which he said I will be fine to attend. Wish me luck.
Weight loss since surgery day = 4.7kg
