Ok I'm going to go crazy. I have reddness and bumps around my large insision!

I have few few more of those redbumps in other places. I'm sending DH to the store to get me benadryl and hopefully that will take care of it.

Did any of you put anything on your insision to prevent infection? I'm thinking of neosurim or something like that.:omg:

Other than that I'm just using tylenol. Crushed darvaset is horrible!

Well I think it's :notagree time for a bit.

Dianne - you are too funny with the nap time stuff. Take care of that rash and take care. Bye

Dianne,

The rash sounds terrible. How are you supposed to wear your halter tops in this heat wave with a rash? Tomorrow my staples will be removed.

I got out of the house today to go to target. My husband is a substitute teacher so he can pick and chose his hours, since they don't pay the bills.

I didn't buy anything at target, Chloe needed coloring books and I just wanted to get some wind on my face. I used to love to nap, I haven't take one since Saturday.

I had almost everything your're describing except rashes behind my ears. Could it be hives? If so, the Xanax will keep you calm. But I had red bumps (tiny little blisters) all over my belly from the bandages that I was allergic to. Plus, my incision was leaking due to a port infection.

I was told to keep the area clean and dry, which was pretty stupid considering a leaking port is wet. If the area gets warm or red, it might be infected. If the wound heals over and fills with Fluid, that most likely means the port is infected. Let's hope it's just allergic reactions and hives, which are much easier to treat.

Have a nice Xanax nap :confused:

Thanks all, I am begining to feel a bit human today. Even went to the hospital to visit my friend who had the RNY yesterday.

Today is the first day I haven't had to take the benadryl every 3 hours. I'm still a bit red and itchy but so much better.

I just can't believe how this surgery has knocked me out this time. And made me depressed.

Dianne, hang in there lady! He never gives us more than we can handle. Please feel free to give me a call any time you want/need.
