Minor Set back

Had a tough week, started out on Tuesday experiencing some pain from what felt like behind my implant. Was sensitive to touch but the area looked okay? Wednesday came and the pain seemed to be getting worse with even more sensitivity. Spoke with my Doctor in Vancouver and he said the pain is probably part of the healing process nothing to worry about. On Thursday that changed! Skin broke open and started to bleed right on the implant. By this time I am an emotional wreck, waiting for 6 weeks with everything going so well, the incision had completely healed and then all of a sudden we get bleeding and pain. My doctor in Vancouver had a new concern, the implant may be infected and there was a chance I could lose it if I didn't get to Vancouver right away. I live 400 km away so that's a bit of a bugger. We decided to attack it a couple of ways. We took pictures and emailed to the doctors in Vancouver to look at, I went to my local family doctor early on Thursday and then my local ear specialist later in the day. I went from waiting excitingly for Monday for my "Turn On" to maybe having to postpone until this wound heels, to the possibility of losing the implant all together! Like I said it was a rough couple of days. As it turned out I had a stitch abscess. One of the dissolving stitches that were used during my surgery poked through the skin right on the implant. It caused the sensitivity and bleeding but as long as it wasn't infected should not be a big problem. I was put on antibiotics as a precaution and we are back on for my "Turn On" for Monday.
