Consultant wants to see me in the morning

I had my appendix out last week. They said it was quite infected and blocked. They said they would be sending it off for tests. Just got a call this evening to say the Consultant wants to see me tomorrow morning to discuss the results.

I am besides myself with worry. Would they want to see me so quickly if it wasn’t bad news. Or are they just being super efficient? Does everybody get a follow up appointment after surgery? Anyone got any experience of this that can help me to calm down?

Good luck, OP. Fingers crossed it's just a good dose of antibiotics needed and a big of monitoring.

Thanks again everyone. We are leaving in half an hour - appointment is at 11.

Best of luck to you too notapizzaeater.

The pre-holiday theory seems popular so I am clinging onto that. Probably a good thing we are going actually as the wound is oozing a bit today so I can get him to take a look at that.

Good luck with your appointment and same to the other poster who also has one. X

DeloresJaneUmbridge · 16/04/2019 09:59

My thought here is medication ...especially if your appendix was very inflamed, the fact your wound is oozing may be an indication of that too,

Thank you all, our appointment is 2pm, keeping busy till then x

He's probably got an Easter holiday booked! Please don't worry!

Jumbo2000 · 16/04/2019 10:38

I hope it’s nothing to worry about!

I’m reckon it’s something to do with medication too, especially as you say it was quite infected.

Good luck!

When DS had an overnight stay on hospital they sent us away with antibiotics and said they'd taken a few swabs but it didn't seem important a few days later I got a phone call to say return immediately to the children's ward. I panicked but it was just that they had confirmed strep from the swab so they needed to increase the course of antibiotics. Depending on the type of infection they may need to change to a different antibiotic. Good luck op.
