Operation Complete

I just spoke to the surgeon and he said everything went well. They took the mesh out and cleaned everything out. He said they did have to remove some skin so the wound will appear to be lower, and there will be more tension in the area. This means it's very important that she not reach up (or down) for anything. We're to minimize stretching. He also said they used heavy sutures this time, and they shouldn't stay in for more than a week. So we'll have to come back next Friday to have the stitches removed and replaced with our friend dermabond. He says as long as there are no unforeseen complications she should be going home today, and gave me directions for caring for the wound until then. Things like no showering until Sunday, and to keep the stitches covered with bacitracin, as they are a possible source of infection.
