So pleased for you Pixie. Sounds like you’re doing really good, which is good news
my stiches well some on top are not healing as they should still red
will go to the docs next week
Ann darlin’ - had a similar problem myself last week - District Nurse who comes in to change the dressing suggested I ask Doctor for an anti-biotic to kill off any possible infection that may be causing a slow down of the healing process. Have had a week’s course of an anti-biotic, which seems to have cleared up the infection.
half of the stiches can hardly see them feels like there some trying to break open it stings a bit I have dresings on to after 5 weeks were they took the waste tubes out think they will be ok after the weekend i can get a bath then
have to wiat 6 weeks they told me I am week 5
Ann darlin’ - yes you’ll feel much better after you’ve been able to have a bath. One of the first things I did when I got home from the hospital was to go and have a shower - I have a wet room shower cabinet with a seat in it, so was able to sit and let the hot water pour all over me - felt fabulous!!!

but only used it twice i cab stand no problem byt my husband has to gelp me in the bath as we have a old style bath claw foot its irion I love it it its deep wide
