Update:
The swelling was indeed excessive. So much so that it blew out some of the stitches.
Also, definitely allergic to Coban (3M brand of self-adherent bandaging).
Put me on antibiotics (6! a day) for a week due to the open-ness of one of the incisions, and an antihistamine for the blistery rash.
Continue to elevate. Continue to ice. He gave me 7 or 8 packages of 3” x 3” gauze, tape, and 4 old-fashioned tensor bandages for compression as tolerated.
Hoping to see improvement over the next few days.
