Ok, can I just say that I totally freaked out this morning, when I woke up and my left armpit was covered in clearish-bloodishy-clearish-stuff and it was Saturday morning?! And anyone that is anyone that has followed me for awhile and or knows me knows that I do NOT deal with stuff like this very well.
I called everyone I knew that could be slightly related to anyone that may know someone that could be slightly related to the medical field.
“Hi, Ms. Johnson? This is Steffney, we arrive at Starbucks at the same time on Tuesday’s and I see that you wear scrubs… are you in the medical field?”
“Oh, you’re a vet tech? Well, see I have a call into my plastic surgeons office, while I wait for that call… what would you do about…”
No seriously, I called the nurses from my office that were literally waiting for me to give them the go ahead to meet me at our office in Charlotte but guess what? Jessica was on the ball and Dr. Capizzi, GOD BLESS HIM, was willing to meet me at his office on a Saturday in Huntersville to look at my incision. It had come open (very small section) from a small build up of fluid which can be very normal. He sewed it up right then and there like it was no big deal at all.
I felt HORRIBLE that he had to come in on a Saturday, but he said something that meant a lot he said “I wouldn’t want anyone else touching it.” I had told him that the nurses at work had offered to put “butterfly stitches” on it until Monday. This would’ve disappointed me, but wouldn’t have made me feel guilty about having a doctor come in on the weekend with his son in tow! When he said this I knew he cared about his work and the outcome of his patients.
Anyways, extra stitches and guilt, but fab doctor!. The extra fluid is super normal, I think I slept on that side on accident.
