Couldn't Blummin Believe It!!!

Couldn't believe it have done everything to the book, have not showered, have cleaned it properly, dried it properly and my wound still managed to get infected - so now I am on antibiotics for a week and have to go yet another 1-2 weeks minus a shower/bath. I am seriously going to start smelling like a tramp (no offence to tramps although I am sure there are none reading this), Healthier Weight have been fab though I must say. I went up to Birmingham today so they could have a look and to have a thorough clean.

All I want now is to have a good night sleep and to be able to sleep on my side without a pillow cushioning my tum and have a nice long bath.

Ahh well on the up side I have lost 18lb since my initial consultation - so what is they say - No Pain No Gain :cry:

Well done on your weight loss, unfortunately with any kind of surgery there is a risk of infections, it will soon clear up and be a distant memory, Wishing you speedy recovery and hope it clears up soon xx

Hi Guys,
Thank you for all your comments. The infection is slowly clearing up but I haven't managed cling film shower or a 3" bath yet – to be honest I'd rather air on the side of caution and wait until it has stopped weeping (although I think by that time I will be weeping harder). So I must carry on with the flannel (we are becoming the best of friends) for the time being. I think that I have found the source of the infection though, I believe it to be caused by an allergic reaction to the dressings. Since I have changed dressings it has come on leaps and bounds. I have now just started on the purée stage so any recommendations would be kindly received.
