Hello everyone. I'm finally three weeks post op! It's amazing how we take the little things in life we do everyday for advantage. I'm so excited now that I can brush my hair all by myself! I have fairly long hair so brushing it and washing it has been quite a challenge. I'm still taking pain medication for the pain I still experience. The steri-strips have almost all fallen off already. However, the only thing I am experiencing now besides the pain is a congested cough. I'm coughing up green mucous (sorry for the gross-out) I contacted my GP on this matter because of the pain it is causing me everytime I coughed and the fact that I am coughing so much I would vomit. I'm now taking a decongestant, along with Vicodin. However, have any of you experienced a cough such as this after surgery?? How long did it last? What is it caused by?? Did any of you experience pain in your lungs when you'd inhale?? Oh, another thing... Would a cane be a worthwhile investment?? I can't walk like a normal person, I'm really stiff and I move like a turtle still. And I can't do it without holding onto my husband for support. Hmm.. one more thing while I'm on here do any of you women have any suggestions for easing the discomfort that wearing a bra brings on the incision cite?? My cut is red and irritated along the area of my back where the brastrap sits. Ummm.. well thank you all very much!
Godbless!
