So my left one i got the stitches out wednesday. this time the physical therapist did it. They had the same irritated look my right stiches had and the PT said theyd take' em out since its been a week and they were itchy, and my post op Dr. appt aint till monday.
So i get home, eat, and then get real tired. I took a nap(had some weird dreams;sexual), then when i woke up i noticed a slight lump and redness where the 2 irritated stitches were. not a scar tissue like lump, like a pus-like one. not good. not good at all. i think was an abcess(infection). This could complicate matters a bit. My worst nightmare is if the rapair cable/ankers get infected and they have to redo the surgery. That would SUCK.
So i had a PT appointment the next day and i didnt have a fever yet so i held off till the PT appt. besides the docs office, PT and ER are all next to each other.
So i started loading massive amounts of vitamin C. i took rougly 100grams between 7:30pm wed and 10:00 thursday. Thursday at 8am it was reduced slightly. The therapist said it looked fine to him, but called the doc in anyway. Doc looked at it and said "Oh wow, look at all that infection........im just kidding it looks great." So then he said it was from him passin intruments in there the whole time and that id have some collagen there. Collagen, whatever, this thing was fluffy the night before. I think it was abcessed but the C killed it.
Granted i had tremendous diarrea, and needed "immodium advanced" from the massive C. But today the lump is even more reduced, as i have kept my massive C dosage.
excuse me, i have to shiit again.
