After the surgery this morning, and all of the running around I did, the packing/gauze that was on the surgery site got lumpy, and it hurt very much. When I finally arrived home, the tape was giving way, and the incision site was visible.
Being me, I had Forrest take a couple of photos.
So. Here’s the question:
Would you, my readers, mind seeing a post-surgical abscess that’s packed with antibacterial gauze?
It’s pretty gross, but because I’m a med nerd, and it’s my armpit, it doesn’t bother me all that much.
I did lose a lot of blood, though. More than I expected.
Again, longer version of the story tomorrow, if you guys think you can handle gross photos of my armpit, which I still can’t shave. YUM!






Bring ‘em on.
I’m thinking of doing a series of educational books called “I am Bonnie’s abscess.” ;)
I want a percentage of the proceeds.
you can always email me pics. also, can forrest have all your easter candy? because you sure can’t have it.
I might as well post them behind a cut. And yes, Forrest can have my Easter candy. :-( for me, :-D for him.
