Xander and Dad at the office. Drain removal day.
So nervous!
Taking off the compression vest was very uncomfortable.
Bandages come off. The drains get pulled out.
First look.
After a quick look, re-bandaged and the binder goes back on.
Once we are home. Long stares in the mirror and a lot of "Wow"and smiling. It's amazing how flat and boyish it looks, I was expecting much more swelling. The first shower was very awkward and difficult. Dosed with ointment and re-wrapped in gauze. Getting the binder back on was hard, not looking forward to doing that for a month. Next follow-up with doctor will be on Aug. 26.
He is very happy with the result so far.
I had breast reduction surgery on Aug 5th and had my drains out yesterday also. They have done an amazing job with Xander, so happy for him.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you as well Anonymous. This journey has been a hard one for Xander but he has grown so much since his initial epiphany. He is a happier person now for sure. Hugs!
