    Had to get myself a last minute appointment with the nurse today. Its at 7pm so I’m waiting for time to pass!

    I’m 13 days post op and had a dressing change yesterday to waterproof ones though made the decision not to shower, I don’t feel ready and shallow baths are doing me fine.
    Yesterday at the appointment I was worried about the slight oozing from my incisions underneath the breast and the nurse said it was normal after bodily trauma like this. However I’ve checked my dressings today and looks like they’ve oozed more, so much I can see it on the dressings. It’s really freaked me out.

    I’m hoping it’s nothing and isn’t as much as it looks like to my eye.
    Can anyone relate?

    Don’t worry too much, I had mine changed and the next day the dressings were discoloured again. You’ve done the right thing though if it’s worrying you 🙂 I too had my dressings changed to waterproof ones around the 2 week mark but I chose not to shower, I had my first shower last week and I’m trying to stick to shallow baths when I can to allow the incisions to heal fully. Hope your appointment goes ok and they can put your mind at ease x

    I hope so, I’m so glad they could see me today because I don’t think I’d be able to relax until tomorrow. I have another appointment for Saturday that was booked yesterday which I’ll keep too.
    I just don’t want anything to go wrong, you know?
    I know there’s probably nothing wrong but my brain is letting me freak out regardless. So glad that I’m leaving for the clinic in 45 minutes.

    Thankfully everything was fine!
    The oozing is where my incisions are drying out and it seems there was excess because yesterday the nurse used a spray to help the drying up process.
    Also seems that I’m slightly allergic to the waterproof dressings so I’ve got the normal ones on again

    And it looks like at least the right breast needs re-dressing already! ¬¬ Wish my stubborn T-junction incisions would dry out!
