A little good vibes please.

***Doc was shocked and unhappy to see me still bleeding! The stitches have dissolved but still not healed up. So he added enough steri-strips to make me look like Frankenstein's bride! If still bleeding by Friday he'll book a surgery to restitch the entire scrotum next week 
More antibiotics, another kind of pain med and more bed rest. I'm losing my helper tomorrow, so he said if I find myself unable to care for myself to call and he'll admit me back in the hospital. NOT what I want to do, but nice that he's understanding enough to go that far if i need it!
I'm not the praying sort, but I could use a little good vibes for tomorrow (the 9th). Second post-op visit with doc (first one was after the ER trip and emergency appt with him last week).
I'm STILL bleeding at the incision point at the base of the shaft. Also given my ultra high tolerance to pain meds, this has been a really rough recovery that has kept me pretty much in bed since the surgery on the 26th.
While I don't expect much can really be done about the pain, I just want him to have a solution to the bleeding and at least say that while slowly, I am healing decently. I can tell the pump has shifted all the way to the right side of my scrotum and my balls are pushed up together on the left side. I'm hoping that while not ideal, he won't find it to be a major problem.
More tomorrow and thanks!
