8 June - tennis balls in armpits

Monday 8 June. My armpit feels as thought I have a large tennis ball stuck in it so I call the hospital and ask to speak to the house doctor as instructed in my discharge notes. I think have developed a seroma. This is a build up of serous fluid in the wound. In itself it is not serious but it is very uncomfortable I arrange to see him in an hour and drive to the hospital. The House doctor looks at it and decides it isn’t a seroma but he wants Mr P to have a look at it later that day. Can I come back in the afternoon? Mmmm..Yes I suppose so. Later that afternoon Mr P pronounces that I have a large seroma and drains about 200ml off with a large syringe. Oh the relief.
The less said about his view of the house doctor the better.
