Hey TinaVane! Yeah, everything is going well! Swelling has reduced considerably.
Am still having discharge and have been told it will go on for another 4 months, which I feel is a major downside to this procedure. On the other hand, i was surprised to see that the recovery was quite fast, 2 weeks after surgery i was back to office full time (although I recommend at least 3 weeks rest), and post 3 weeks was able to drive my car. Although it is a big surgery, didn't want it to cause a major change in my lifestyle. Requiring only 2x dilation daily for the first 2 months, I feel I am able to do my regular activities and be regular to my Spanish classes on weekends without getting too tired.
All in all, pretty satisfied 🙂 Though you were right about the scar. It's prominent. Applying Mederma and Bio-oil twice daily. Fingers crossed.
