going to see the surgeon today

i'm back to work, but i'm doing a half day today because i have to travel (once again) to the city to go see the surgeon to make sure i am healing okay. i think my incisions are healing very nicely, except that one of the small incisions keeps bleeding a little. it isn't gushing blood, but i keep getting blood on my shirts from it-- i put a band-aid on it last night, but it fell off in the shower this morning. i've been trying to keep them really clean-- i wash them mildly in the shower and then when i get out, rinse them with antiseptic wash and then pat them dry. sometimes i put a little mederma on them to help promote the healing without scarring. either way, i never put lotion or anythign scented on them so they don't get irritated. i think they are doing well.

anyway, i'm feeling really good still. no more sleepless nights. i am able to walk just as fast as i did before. i just have to remember to ask the doctor when i can resume activities like biking, running and swimming. i can't wait to be active again -- i am getting restless! :)
