Because I live my life according to Murphy's law
Slight problem on the surgery healing front. Apparently my right side is not healing quite like it should. It will probably only be a cosmetic issue. (Absolute worst case scenario is I lose my areola, but that doesn't seem likely.) I've been given strict orders to stop riding my bike, and I'm trying to be extremely careful with my right side.
What truly annoys me is that the doctor didn't tell me this. When I had my appointment, she made the problem sound not very serious at all, and advised me to cut down on my activity. A few days later, she calls my mom, gives her the horror story "lose your areola" stuff, and tells her that I should be using my right side as little as possible and not cycling at all. This causes my mom to leave a panicked message on my answering machine, which causes me to panic.
One guaranteed way to annoy me is to not tell me stuff. Especially if you go behind my back about it. The doctor was worried that I wasn't concerned enough. Well, of course I wasn't concerned. She made it sound utterly minor. Ugh.
But, the good news is that it seems to be getting better. The pain has almost completely stopped, and I think that it's looking more normal. I'm crossing my fingers.
