Im kinda behind on this. Im not a great computer person or speller.1/08 had double mastectomy well three weeks later I ripped one incison open. What a shock that was not often you can see inside yourself thank goodness the most I seen was the inflator.E.R sewed me up. The vary next week I ripped the other side open. E.R didnt sew me this time cause I was seeing Plastics the next day.Ok I see plastics & he said he is going to do a litissmas flap on rt side & clean up & sew left side. Dr said since rt side had radition  (2006) tissue wont hold thats why the flap. I told the Dr make sure you bring the super duper glue & duct tape a few days later surgery[2/21/08] they took muscle & fat from my back & put it on my front. Well my back doesnt like my front .tissue died 1inch. We removed the dead stuff I asked dr for my duct tape again,he thinks Im kidding.I just wont stay closed,he keeps sewing& I keep poppin open. On 4/22/08 he took all stiches out, & he wants me to pack saline gauze in this 4in hole its gross & hurts bad cause its raw tissue & I see my pec muscle. I told my Doc when i tell ya to bring duct tape and super glue Im not kidding. He rubbed my back [felt good] and said dont worry well get through this and from behind him he finally brought out a roll of duct tape, we laughed. I guess sometimes they do listen.
