Day 13 PO - Tuesday - Steri Strips removed :)

10/4/2023

0 Comments

 
Appointment with nurse Rachel at Dr. Koga’s office to remove the remaining steri strips. It took a while to get called back. I was able to sit in the waiting area for almost an hour before needing to stand up.

[Sidebar: we met an interesting retired Marine SgtMaj who had come in to have a deep brain stimulation implant hooked up. My Marine and he had some good conversations while we waited. ]

The incision site is a little over 3.5” long and is healing well. It’s a little bumpy and puffy at the top. I’m hoping it’s just an absorbable stitch that will dissolve allowing the skin to smooth out. When I’m not wearing the back brace, I can feel that puffiness back there when moving. It’s totally weird.
​
Was prescribed Gabapentin to combat the nerve pain on the right side.  Things should settle down in the next month or so.
