Crisis Averted- It's All Good!

I began up my appointment with a tad of unsettling news. When I told the on care- surgical Nurse Practioner about my numbness in my arm pit she said that unfortunately that may ALWAYS be the case. My appointment didn't last long and all is well in terms of my recovery. It didn't reopen because of my recent activity. She indicated that it is actually pretty common. Because my site was slightly superficial, my body didn't absorb it like the deeper stitches. She removed about a 2 inch stitch that was wrapped into the tissue but not healing. Therefore, my skin was irritated and with the constant water, shaving and deodorant it got gradually worse and the top layer didn't heal properly. She applied silver nitrate and "cauterized" the wound. I can return to work tomorrow and even exercise again. I'm sore but good! I'm at my survivors meeting and will post my exciting news later tonight!!
