    Until it appears the built up fluid is affecting other organs, let the body reabsorb the fluid. All looks great!

    Everything is looking good. Honestly, if you wanted to save your supplies, based on the pictures, mother nature will take care of the rest. You have intact skin beds at varying stages of growth. It does not hurt to keep going with it though. I would start looking towards protection and...

    I tend to follow the rule of "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" but give it a roll and see how it does. Things will hopefully fast track from here.

    Your "cysts" are entirely possibly hematomas from ripped blood vessels. They should eventually reabsorb as the body heals and processes everything. Are you seeing any skin regrowth back towards the nub yet in any way? She looks FANTASTIC from that previous picture. The wound itself will be...

    I can't tell from the last picture, did you remove the arm completely from the shoulder joint? I am not a surgeon, but when amputating, they typically cut but leave a flap of skin where the skin can be sewn back around the remaining stump. Any exposed bone will likely incur a bone infection...
