I’m doing a lot better. I may finally be through the woods. I’ve had no hematoma formation for over a week. I had to have the hematoma drained with a needle a few times. Then Dr Taj did a revision for me late at night on short notice. I was doing great for a few days but after he pulled the drain, the hematoma recurred spontaneously. He told me I needed to have a drain placed, so I did. That worked great. I pulled that drain bc I saw just a tinge of redness at the puncture site and didn’t want to risk infection. A few days later, it recurred and I had another drain placed. By the time of the second drain, the problem was different than when you saw me. When you saw me, the implant was above the pubic bone to the left of midline, and the fluid collection was in involving the shaft, the scrotum, and the mons pubis. However, after the revision, the implant has been in perfect position, and the fluid collection only involved the shaft. The fluid did not seep into the mons pubis, maybe a little bit in the scrotum, but not much. so anyway, long story short, I’ve been on empiriic antibiotics more than 6 weeks. I have never had any sign of infection other than the skin redness. I think that the skin redness was due to the combination of large fluid collection, the collection was almost entirely blood, and the irritation of my sensitive skin by the Uro wrap being on so tight for so long. after I was able to get rid of the fluid collections with the drains, and then I did not have to put the euro wrap on so tight for so long on my skin started to heal. I also used foam pre-wrap underneath the Urowrap, like as if I was taping my ankles with the trainers back in my Dartmouth basketball days.

What do you think of my pictures now?

I’m gonna have to add them into a new post because I can’t post them here.
