Went to see the plastic surgeon yesterday and he didn't like the way my abdominal incision was healing so he cut it open and scooped out the dead skin. Now I have to pack it with wet gauze and cover it with dry gauze. That has to be done twice a day. I have to say it is kinda gross. I won't go into more detail than that.
The doctor has written a note to keep me out of work until further notice. He says it will take at least a month to heal. I am still hoping to be back at work at the end of April but Tom doesn't want me to go back until I am totally healed. I am unsure if work would even let me come back with restrictions so until I can lift 25 pounds I may have to stay out.
Having an open wound is freaking me out as I want to walk and gain some endurance but am afraid of doing anything that would make the wound worse.
I am highly frustrated.
