After leaving Manhattan we traveled to Plymouth Massachusetts, keeping us on the East Coast two weeks post-op before flying to the West Coast. I stayed in California with our son till April 6th, while my husband went to do a job in Iowa and Indiana. Once in California, my surgical incision started to open at the bottom tip. Dehiscence of the surgical incision was not painful, actually that whole area is numb. I was advised to put MediHoney on the wound. The plastic surgeon in New York agreed that MediHoney was an option, the other option would be to go back to New York for it to be re-sutured. MediHoney it is!
( My son insisted on a 1st class ticket back to Maui)
Since arriving back home, on April 6th I was quite busy with a lot of (adulting) aka; taxes. I also reached out to my PCP here on the island. Dr. Haynes placed a referral for me to be seen by the wound care specialist, the same one that took care of me when I had the wound-vac last year. Terri with Venture Physical Therapy is seeing me once a week and taking pictures of the wound for me to forward to the New York surgeons.
I know that in the past I have been very transparent and have posted graphic pictures of surgical sites. I have opted this time not to post pictures of the dehisced surgical wound. What is important is that it is healing and it is not infected….grateful for that.
I am scheduled to go back to work May 6th, which I am looking forward too. What can I say, “I love my job”. Today (April 25th) is our 37th Wedding Anniversary , Jack flew home to surprise me.
