Sorry to hear that Tracey

Wish I had been given liquid paracetamol as I hallucinate on codeine which is what i was given. The hospital gave me forceval, they look huge but are gel capsules so really easy to take. I'm hoping that I can buy them from the pharmacy, if not I'm going to get centrium ones and crush them.

You could buy liquid paracetamol from the chemist, just take a bigger dose of the children's stuff ( up to 1gram 4? hourly) The multivitamins that I bought are centrum chewable - fruit flavour - there actually ok.

Just on the way home from having my staples removed. Everything healing well and on the plus side another 12 pounds lost so that makes 27 pound since I started my pre-op diet. Woohoo!

Wow, thats great news, another 12lb! How do you feel now you've had the staples removed?

 

[Blackcraig]

I feel great thanks, so much so that I'm off to Finland in a couple of weeks )

27lbs Well done you

Haven't posted for a few days. Even though the wounds were healing nicely when the staples were removed last Friday I ended up in A & E on Sunday because my port wound was infected.

It was fine on Friday but the nurse covered it with a steri-strip which didn't allow the air to circulate and nasty bugs started multiplying and in just over 48 hrs the wound has become infected (sigh)

I'm now on 500mg of antibiotics four times a day!

Feel pretty down at the moment as Finland is in jeopardy now

Oh Craig, thats such a shame hopefully the antibiotics will kick in and clear up that infection for you so that you can get away. Goes to show how quickly things can take hold, lets hope it shifts as quickly!

 

[Blackcraig]

Well it's been a fair while now, and I still haven't had my first fill :C

My port wound still hasn't completely healed and until it does they will not do a fill. Thankfully I have continued to lose a little weight but very slowly. Due to go for a fill on the 19th but as the wound hasn't healed I think I'm going to have to cancel.

I never made it to Finland either...my car broke down in Denmark and they wanted £4,000 to repair it. Car wasn't worth that much!! So poor car was scrapped in Denmark.

On the plus side my dog is due to have her puppies in 3 weeks!
