Here's my incision 5 days post op. My husband did my first dressing change and it looked really good, no leaking at all.
The back of my leg is badly bruised too
Well here we are at the ripe old age of 4 months. I must say I`m pleased with just how well its healing. Most of the time I forget that I actually have a bionic bit!!:cool:
this is day 19 of my RTHR bruising all gone yey!!
wound got infected but thankfully the antibiotics sorted that out
less than 3 weeks from surgery and I cant believe how much better things are and how well I can walk now!!!!
I'm not very technical so it's taken a while.....here are my badges of honour - the latest one from my THR & some revision work done at the same time on old scars from my younger days. This photo was taken 5 weeks post op.
I'm delighted with the new one, (across my posterior!) I had no bruising whatsoever and I think it looks fantastic. The revision work has been more of an issue, there were TONS of clips and it was very tight due the work done. You can see that I have more scars veering off to the left of the pic that curve around almost to my waist from surgery done in the 60's & 70's - how techniques have improved!
I got the nurse to take it for me because I can't really see it. Four days post-op. Gruesome! My leg is swollen too. I have to say it's better than the last one I had where they used staples!
