My Journey Notes:
Stitches out. Healing progressing as anticipated. This thing itches like crazy though and the PA had to pull a bit of the scabbing away to clip the stitches. She sure did them better and with less pain than the tech did when removing the drain. I was able to clean up the site a little yesterday — but hoping to do a little more today and apply another layer of antibacterial ointment…

Next appointment on the calendar and labs too. We’ll see how things unfold in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, there are still restrictions and movement limitations remain.
