Re: Mastectomy results
Debridement surgery went well. All the black skin is gone. My abdomen was sewn together with nylon stitches instead of glue. My breast has an open wound on the underside that will heal from inside out - have to pack that one. Both have flat, short drains that just drain into gauze. Dr prescribed a stronger antibiotic. I took it this afternoon & had an allergic reaction to it - ugh! Tomorrow will be better! I'm happy that the wounds look healthier!
