Ix-nay on the 2 week pics

I was intending to take two week progress pics today, but after my visit with my beloved Dr. Sweeney I decided not to do it.

She mentioned exactly what I've noticed, which is I'm a bit behind in the healing. The neo was bad and kinda set me back a bit, then there's one section that kinda split more than the rest (I think I actually FELT it the first week, then it oozed more than the rest the whole time) which isn't "marrying" the way it should. It's all still too "wet" in her words, and verging on infection. She also said it's so "wet" still that it is just asking for a yeast infection, so I'm on to only cotton undergarments and keeping it all exposed as much as possible. Kinda hard when I get cold with most of me uncovered. My poor family watching me walk around with my nasty, icky belly sticking out.

Ed is being so amazing, he's taking CJ to karate, then picking up my Keflex while that's going on. I wish I knew of a way to thank him better than just saying it all the time. At least I made dinner tonight. Though, now I'm down for the evening, I feel good about doing it for the family.

So, the plan will shift to 3 week pics now -- hopefully there will be enough improvement that I'm not too afraid to show you guys. Oh, and I'm kinda depressed about all the swelling -- Dr. S said it also made it look like it was on the verge of infected, so I won't have to show you how much the pooch is sticking out. Dr. Sweeney said it wasn't that much, but I feel so icky! Okay, off to play more Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook and relax. Sometimes I am really good at that game, but usually because Norco is involved, I suck....
