6 weeks post-op

Last night I got the corset off. After the shower the tummy sore opened up again as the scab got attached to the "non-adhesive" dressing pad. It was bleeding AGAIN. For 6 weeks it didn't properly scab. Probably because of the suit compressing it and cutting off the blood supply so it wasn't healing well.

So I decided to leave the compression suit off for the night, leave the sore open to the air so it dries. 

I had to make sure I didn't cover myself with anything. I have some special shorts with higher band that are more supportive. It was relatively comfortable keeping in the swelling.

I can sleep on my sides now, it's a struggle and sometimes I can't lie on my side more than 5-10 minutes. 

I have my 6 weeks check with the nurse in 3 days. But I couldn't wait with the corset on anymore.

I bought some MaCom short corset, without the shorts attached. Not tried it on yet. I'm waiting on my sore to heal a bit before I put it on. 

Anyway, here's some pictures from today.
