When they did your surgery it was more like swinging hammers and saws drilling and bolts etc, there was nothing delicate about it. So, you will be massively swollen, bruised and generally in mucho paino.
You should notice that every day it gets a little better, the swelling is a little smaller and you will need a little less pain relief. But don't be afraid to take the medicine. That is what it is for. You wont get a habit. It is just until it heals my friend.
My advice is to not change your dressings yourself. Get a pro to do it. Better to not change it rather than feck about and give infection a chance to bollox it all up.
What date was your op ?
Absolutely EP! I am from a family of doctors and if they knock you out, they really do treat you like a carcass in a butchers' shop!
