[tigertown]

why will i need that?

is the one i have not good enough?

seen Fielding today for my 1st post op appt.

turns out i had a small hematoma on the left side, most due to the fact that i am into bodybuilding and there is an increased blood flow to that area moreso than a person who doesn't lift.

he froze my chest, and drained it.. it wasn't anything severe, he said it would have went away on its own but since i was there he decided to take care of it.

because of it my left chest is a little more swollen, but hopefully it will go down.

my right chest is lookin good, the mipple is flattened right out, but thats probably due to wearing this dam vest steadily. he said it will pop out again no prob.

i just gotta start massaging the area i guess now to help with the healing of scar tissue etc.

im mostly excited that i get to have a shower tomorrow. i'm so pumped.

hey


my left chest is still pretty swole

i think i got a hematoma again, i should take pics and post them up i guess

i'm really scared that im gonna be deformed haha

my right chest is ok, but left is pure swole and still really bruised

should i be nervous?

i already had a hematoma drained 1 week post op, its pretty obvious i have another i think


should i be nervous? it definetly feels full of liquid, but it doesnt really hurt

Give it some more time dude... 3 weeks maybe... if you are still very swolen... check with JCF about it...

i see JCF tomrrow (tuesday)

he'll proll drain the hematoma again

i'm going to pick up one of those under armour tiiiight compression shirts, it should probably work better than this stupid vest

saw JCF today at the clinic

drained the hematoma, got about 35 cc of black OLD blood outta there
its still draining outta the needle hole here at home

i've put 4 different gauze pads on it and bloodied one shirt haha

i'm just happy to know its draining

he took out 10cc i think last time aswell


i have yet ANOTHER appt to go back in 3 weeks unless its looking good. but i did get the go ahead to start working out again. so i'm gonna start tomorrow. i'm pretty pumped about that.

[Grandpa Bambu]
