thankyou dawn.... i went last week to docs as querie with another staple and he gave me some antibiotics for emergency.... but i rang my surgeon today and he said dont take them until i see the doctor tmro and see what he says... he said its only a very small wound so prob nothing to worry about.
 
I didn't have staples or sutures I had glue and steri strips over the wounds. Wounds have healed well. The discharge from your wounds sounds like infection there maybe you need different antibiotics. Hope your wounds get better soon! x
 
Stop squeezing!

Thankyou Jay, the wound was ok, but another wound was a bit red a yellowy so went back to docs today and he said to take the antibiotics as from today which i am... so hopefully all will be ok, he said he doesnt think have an infection but t looks a bit red.. the nurse at my surgery is going to take a swab anyway on wednesday when i have staples removed... so not looking forward to that lol xx
 
Don't worry about having your staples removed. They have a special tool which make it very easy for them to be removed. I had mine out last Monday, all 47 of them plus 6 cross stitches and I can honestly say it did not hurt at all. I thought I would be needing gas and air but it was totally fine. :)
