Surgery plus five days

[unixronin]

Just checked the remaining dressing on my knee.  I conclude that leaving it open without a dressing at all for most of yesterday was the right thing to do, because the upper suture that was still bleeding slightly yesterday did not bleed at all yesterday evening or last night; the gauze sponge was clean when I took it off.  Right now, it's a little swollen again after having the Ace wrap off for several hours; as soon as I get lunch for the smalls, I need to go lie down for a while.

Progress continues.  The sutures still itch, though, and anything that torques my knee axially hurts.

*giggle* Sorry. He does not like to have anything greasy on his skin at all.

I wonder if the arnica gel would reduce some of the itching while it reduces some of the bruising...

Oh yeah, who are you? :-)
