Just an update folks


Been down to theatre at 5.30 had wound washed out and packed with betadine dressings. Was in such pain after lots of morphine. Got to go back in morning and have it done again. That will be my 4th visit in 3 weeks.

Alison thinking of you, I know there's not a lot you can do be stay strong hopefully it will all be over for you soon and you will be on the mend

 

[~Alison~]

Thanks mouse, been back to surgery today for another wash out and they have stitched wound although is still pouring through dressing. Pain much better controlled today, I think as I cried to the theatre staff.

Onwards and upwards xx

Been to clinic this morning. Surgeon is happy with progress in that blood results are better and inflammatory markers coming down. Another week of strong antibiotics and then they will decide if I need more or can stop them. Will have had 2 weeks IV in hospital and 2 weeks tablets at home.
Have lost a stone and a half since surgery!
Struggling with puréed diet so advised to have slim fasts for the protein content.
He says may feel this exhausted for 6-8 weeks and that it's not surprising after what's happened to me.
1 drain out today, 1 more to come out in a few weeks!
Felt emotional and stressful going back to the hospital where it all went wrong.
Feels good to be home now though! Just tired and cold!

 

[mouse57]

Take care ladies hope your feeling better now your at home nothing nicer than your own bed

 

[~Alison~]

Hi all

Cherub so glad things are looking up for you and that one drain out. Well got home yesterday evening after 3 hr journey.

They forgot my codeine and clexane injections so had to go through 111 to get those today but quite straight forward.

District nurses came to pack my abdominal wound this morning had been leaking since 5am.

Absolutely shattered but glad to be home.

Xxxx
