The Saline did help more tonight when having my packing changed. I jumped in the shower before my wife removed the last bit of the packing, it hurt a little, but not too bad. After getting out of the shower, my wife dampened the gauze with the saline. It felt better, the moistness felt better in the hole, but it still hurt alot. I think the reason for this is because when i'm laying down on my stomach you cant see the opening at all. You cant see anything until my wife stretches the skin a little, so the opening isnt that wide. And its her wedging the packing in there that hurts. So I told her tomorrow before seeing the surgeon I'm going to take 2 percocets, because I know she is doing it as gently as she can and the doctor might not be so gentle.
For people who are going through this without help, God bless you. I honestly dont know what I would do without my wife helping me with this. She has been wonderful through all of this. She tells me its her paying me back for being there for her with her back surgery. I just look at her and tell her I still owe her big and I thank her for everything she does for me everyday. And my two little girls have been wonderful through this as well. Always asking me if they can bring me anything, ask me if they are being too loud. They are just going out of there way to take care of there Daddy and it makes me really appreciate how lucky I am
