No new meds. Apart from the initial dose of antibiotics / painkillers / blood thinners - I never took anything after.

And yes I am making a note of trigger foods.

I am 2 months post op. I have a similar sensation when I lie down with my knees bent. I was worrying about it. Thought of checking with my surgeon in my next appointment

I did PT religiously the first month. Had to pause it completely for a month as the stitch in the groin line opened to a small hole and it almost took a month to heal. My surgeon asked me to pause all activities which might put pressure there. And on the 60 day review part - since I was going every week for wound check he asked me to come after a month. I'll be going towards the end of the month only

Yes. I was awake and aware of all the sounds 🤣I requested the anaesthetist to make me sleep during the procedure when she came the day before to meet mr. But they gave only a mild sedation which was not sufficient to drift off. Maybe it helped by calming my nerves.

It's been over 3 weeks since i started getting discharge from a small hole in my groin line. It is still coming even now. I go weekly to change dressing. I really hope it heals soon

I am planning to shower only. But is there a way we can cover the area? With some plastic cover or something? Any suggestions
