The doctor was pretty shocked, she'd never seen this kind of operation before. It does look dreadful. She called up to the nurses station to see if they knew about it, and they had seen lots of them, so she sent me up there to get dressed & sorted and gave me a script for antibiotics due to a slight infection. Infection, of course, can kill you in these cases so it can't be ignored.
The nurses were really nice. They said they had seen people in a much worse state. They thought the stitching was very neatly done and said it must have been a very good surgeon. They cleaned me up and put some non-sticking dressings on the oozy bits.
The horrible blisters are caused by an allergy to the tape that holds bandages on.
It was so nice to get cleaned up. I have not been able to get the area wet, so it smelt awful. They suggested getting a crop top. I had a quick look for one at the shops, while feeling very faint and nearly blacking out at times, but they only make those things up to size 12, bastards.
Getting to the doctor was not easy. I had to painfully get dressed (there is no pain as long as I don't move!). I had to try and get a parking spot right outside the doctors as I am too weak to walk. That took half an hour of driving round and round.
Even sitting in the waiting room everything was going black from time to time and I nearly passed out. I have just lost so much fluid and blood.
Now I am back home and will get into bed and stay there until tomorrow.
