When I went for my follow-up visit today, the doctor said that we will be adding more to get the shape right and that's there only so much he can do at a time. it feels very obtrusive almost under my arm but he said that will soften up. Stitches staying in for now.
I'm sticking to chicken soup and plain turkey sandwiches until I am finished with the Cephalexin. And I can now take Ibuprofen for the pain.
