Re: Re: My appointment with Dr. Kolb todayand questions that didn't get answered

Cosima,

I suspect there was silicone in your bandages! . . .

The idea of the sports bra is to provide gentle

support without cutting into your tissues. If you feel

it's cutting, you'll need to find a more comfortable

sports bra.

I suspect the idea behind binding tightly is to keep

any fluids from accumulating after the drains were

removed. . . Dr. Kolb may have a reason for telling

you to wear the binding longer. I don't think everyone

does. Neverthe less, I would take her advice. She's

the best judge of how far along your healing has

progressed. The last thing you want is to have fluid

accumulate and cause a lot of pain or further surgery!

I know this is all a nusiance . . . but it will pass

soon and you'll be on your way back to health! Just be

good to yourself and know that whatever discomfort you

feel now, it's just temporary.

Hugs and prayers,

Rogene
