After the reconstruction Tram Flap surgery, there is a large wound that would not heal. This lead me to going to daily hyperbaric treatments to help with wound healing. One of the side effects from hyperbaric treatments is severe blurring of vision and near-sightedness.
Once it was determined that everything that could be done with hyperbaric treatments, another surgery to close the wound is performed. Timeline: July 13, 2010. I then go back to hyperbaric treatments beginning the day after surgery for two weeks.
August, 2010: The wound has finally healed and I had all external stitches removed. My stomach is still sore from the tram flap surgery. I no longer have to wear the large elastic bandage. I am able to venture away from San Diego for a few days. I still have fatigue, but look forward to rejoining normal life.
