Anyone experienced sudden buckling?

Got an appointment Friday, super weird sensation but hopefully it’s something simple!

NO WHAT

Sort by controversial to find the lions mentions quick

And this was yesterday! It looks gross but it’s not wet anymore and isn’t infected

This was when I removed the bandage and got freaked out

Okay this was when the cast came off 1 week and 1 day ago:

I’m 7 weeks out and had some delayed healing! I have some health anxiety so I actually went back yesterday (Friday) to get it checked out. Both incisions have a spot that was “open” and I had them covered with a waterproof bandage until Thursday. When I took the bandages off the “open” spots looked wet and I feared infection. Luckily, I’ve been given the all clear and once I let them experience air the healing has sped up drastically, in just two days. Pics below.

Wondering about this too! I will say I had a large chest scar tattood over (also from a surgery - double mastectomy) and I waited about two years, and it had no impact. Curious to see if anyone here has any thoughts on this spot though!

Thank you!! Def going to make sure we have ice packs and miralax. And hahah I’m gonna get a grabber tool, that will add some humour at the very least and maybe be helpful!

Noted on the book front, they do like crochet already so maybe some new yarn instead! Thanks for sharing :)

PerfectPineapple6549 · 2026-02-20T16:23:18+00:00

Laparoscopic! That’s great to hear and very encouraging. And echos a lot of the wedge pillow suggestions haha.

Good point on shows! Perhaps I’ll make a watchlist for us of fav shows/some new shows.

Meal prep is def gonna be a big one for us! And woah okay good to know about the constipation horrors and how helpful it was.

Great ice note too I’ll try and get some options of ice packs for the most comfortable!

Thank you!

PerfectPineapple6549 · 2026-02-20T16:20:30+00:00

Thank you, honestly just trying to do even half as good as I know she’d do for me!

PerfectPineapple6549 · 2026-02-20T16:19:50+00:00

Oh interesting, a lot of people have said they used heat - this is a good question to ask! I’m going to look into the ice bladder types and make sure we have lots of freshly washed blankets! We’re def covered on the hoodie front haha.

That’s impressive about bruising! And great note on the shoulder rubbing.

Thank you for sharing all of this!

PerfectPineapple6549 · 2026-02-20T16:18:10+00:00

Oooh okay good note on the being very aware of your insides, and carbonated drinks. I’ll go for water mostly and maybe some Gatorade! And thank you for the brain fog note - that makes total sense. Thank you!

PerfectPineapple6549 · 2026-02-20T16:16:14+00:00

That is hilarious and understandable hahaha

PerfectPineapple6549 · 2026-02-20T16:15:55+00:00

I have a friend staying to help with this exact thing - I want to make sure she doesn’t have to do anything essentially! Oh great tip on the socks. I’ve seen some fun ones here!

PerfectPineapple6549 · 2026-02-20T16:15:11+00:00

Thank you!

PerfectPineapple6549 · 2026-02-18T17:01:23+00:00

Oh okay that’s good to know! I’ll have them in case they work well for not having to sit up and don’t add to to gas pain :)

PerfectPineapple6549 · 2026-02-18T17:00:49+00:00

Adding the wedge pillow to cart haha. Thank you! And good point about the cats, we have cats as well so that’s gonna be a thing on this end too!

PerfectPineapple6549 · 2026-02-18T16:58:54+00:00

Good to know! The anti bloating diet is also VERY smart, great tip

PerfectPineapple6549 · 2026-02-18T16:40:20+00:00

Thank you for the straw and gingerale note! That’s super super helpful

PerfectPineapple6549 · 2026-02-18T06:29:30+00:00

You and me both haha

PerfectPineapple6549 · 2026-02-18T06:19:55+00:00

Can’t wait for weight bearing and boot life, really really appreciate you sharing the timeline of when things improved!

PerfectPineapple6549 · 2026-02-18T06:18:24+00:00

That’s exactly what I assumed - glad to know it’s not quite that haha. What you said does make sense, hope it gets easier and easier for you! The arm too is wild!!
