Pat,

How far into your armpit does you incision go? I haven't used deodorant

since surgery but changing dressings 3 times a day keeps me pretty

clean...LOL I'm afraid to get deodorant into the incision/open area. And how

far past

your elbow does your incision go? We measured mine and it was 18 1/2 inches

long from below elbow to armpit. Did your arms go numb easily post op? And

how long before the swelling was tolerable? I sure didn't expect the arms to be

so much of a pain in the ass!

My incision only goes to the bend of the elbow.And I might be

wrong but I think dr.k took my sweat glands out so therefore

I don't use deortant anymore..

My tt was much worse than the arms,but it did take my right

one longer to heal.

I wish you luck

Pat

Pat,

Todat I was able for the first time use a large tekfa bandaid type

bandage on the hips that were leaking so bad. Stompped dressings on the left

arm,

And Now am only dressing the right arm and the biggie in the groin. It is

being packed with gentamycin soaked gauze 3 times a day(lots of gauze). I've

been on antibiotics since surgery. Maybe some of my sweat glands are

gone...LOL.

I can only hope!
