In the Emergency room... ok so I kinda got freaked out and had to go to the Emergency room for a little reassurance. Not to worry, I am ok. I just found that the right side was much more swollen, warmer to the touch and seemed to have this slooshing sound. So I spent 2 and half hours in the Grey Bruce Health Centre hoping that I did not have an infection. Especially since I'm prone to that sort of thing ever since my hip replacement. The Dr. was great, she had a look and made sure I didn't have a fever and figured it was just a hematomia, well not just... because it's not the greatest thing to have, but better than pus and an infection. She said that there had been more trauma to the right side and there was blood still at the wound site, and that it might take 3 weeks for it to finally be re-absorbed by my body. So now I have to watch out for the signs of fever, or if the area does not improve and if that happens get my butt to the emerg pronto. But otherwise I am a o k. I feel much better for going, but it was kinda scary there for a bit.
Allison also came by for a visit yesterday... that was great. We had coffee and sat around and chatted and I even showed her the results, well the left side anyways, since the right side is still a little gross. I'm thinking now that they removed a mole from under my left breast. I have an extra stich or two under there and at first I thought they might have done some drainage, but now that I think of it I did have a huge mole there... so maybe they removed it... ah well whatever... I'm not going to worry about it too much. Now I am off to make my follow-up appointment and enjoy this summer weather. And I thought I wasn't going to get a summer vacation. Well the weather seems to have other things in mind. We have been in the pool everyday and I plan on hanging out on the deck and soaking up the last of summer.
