So it turns out on closer inspection, my drain hole is actually covered up - what I was looking at appears to be the very edge of my incision on that side. It's really hard for me to see with it being on my side and covered by stuff, I tried to get my partner to take a look at it but this sort of stuff really squicks him out. I got him to take some photos so I could look at it, I'm confident it's not the drain hole I can see. The only other explanation is that it's the edge of my incision....which is supposed to be underneath the honeycomb, I can't see it on the other side.
I'm pretty sure I was told in the hospital that I don't have any stitches, I just have glue. So I did a bit of research and all the sources I found say not to put bandaids or sticky things of any sort over the glue, because it might pull it off. This confuses me considering there is essentially a giant band aid over the entire thing xD I'm definitely just gonna leave it alone though, I have an appointment in 5 days I will ask what the deal is then.
This is a huge issue with the NHS - they don't tell you anything, it's all rushed and blurted and then you get shoved out the door like "wait I have questions...;__;" I literally only have one leaflet - it's A5 size and titled "breast reduction surgery" and is a generic list of things that might go wrong.
I woke up on my side this morning and the frame to prop me up had been abandoned. I'm trying to be good but my subconscious seems to be rebelling
nothing hurts though, feel great today, no back pain.
I have abandoned my binder in favour of the tube thing again, but I've cut the tube in half. Working way better now, not rolling or bunching and annoying the crap out of me, just sitting there supporting me like it's supposed to
I have to take antihistamines anyway for my array of allergies. Sneezing really sucks at the moment haha, trying to keep as much distance as possible between me and my cats. The itching is definitely the worst part, very much looking forward to getting the bandages off.
