Today was my 3rd post op check up since coming back home from surgery. I still have granulation tissue which is about the size of a pinky fingernail and flower shaped. Dr. L had her nurse hand her the sticks with the silver nitrate on it. She applied them as quickly as she could to the area since I was in pain. I squeezed Jeff's hand hard...the pain hurt too much. With my other hand, dug my fingernails into the palm of my own hand trying to give myself another pain to focus on. Unfortunately that didn't work.
Dr. L. said that she'll update Dr. Albee with the results but not until after my December appointment so that she can give him glowing results. I'm updating him before then.
After the appointment, Jeff helped me into the car and the ride home was bad. I was crying most of the way home. I'm tired of heading over to Dr. L.'s office only to head home again still in pain.
At home, I recomposed myself so that I wouldn't be crying in front of the kids. I had to put on my brave face as I headed in the door. Dinner wasn't going to be prepared by me so Jeff ordered out.
I'm tired of the pain. I'm hoping it'll end soon however I have another post op appointment (post op #4) with Dr. L. the morning of December 2nd. If I'm not healed up by then, it'll be more silver nitrate for me.
Can you tell me this?? When will the pain end??
