How much did your lift bleed?
Had my LIFT bright and early this morning. He's also opened some of the more external tract again as it hadnt healed properly (to be packed.
With the LIFT, he has stitched both the internal and external access, so the idea is to leave that bit alone and let the stitches do their thing. What they found after the surgery is that I was bleeding from the stitches quite a bit, but they decided this was slow enough that it would probably resolve on it's own. Ive just peed, and made the mistake of thinking it might be a good idea to clean up some of the blood. It seemed to start a new bleed so I put a sterile dressing on and am lying on my side with my cheeks together to try and give it some pressure.
My question is, how much did your LIFT bleed, and when were you happy it had chilled out enough to shower/get wet etc.
