Infected wound ***WARNING*** gross picture

[fudgesmummy]

Hi all,
I had major abdominal surgery 11 days ago and I have got an infection in my wound. I saw a dector yesterday and got prescribed antibiotics and the staples are due to be removed on Tuesday
Do you think I should go and have it looked at again tomorrow?
I feel ok in myself, no temperature or anything just miserable and in pain 😭

[SleighOfSparkliness]

Glad you’re doing reasonably ok!

Good to hear it’s going well.

Keep being careful re lifting & boisterous children!

Hi all,
Things are still going along well.
I’m still have to go to the nurse but only every other day now. Went back to work last Monday when 5 weeks post op. Could definitely done with more time off, but needs must.
I’m not doing any lifting etc and being as careful as I can
@TigerCameForTea
We looked into it but we weren’t elagable.

That’s a huge weight off & with good progress on the wound, things are looking up!

Be very careful not to lift any if the little people tomorrow & watch out for them launching themselves at you!

Look after yourself! 🌷

So sorry you’re having such a horrible time. I sincerely wish you a speedy recover. Xxx

[Doowop]

So pleased that the results are positive for you.

[TigerCameForTea]

Oh fudgesmummy, you've really been through a horrid time. So glad to hear the op has been a success and you're feeling better.
A bit late but did you apply for any sick pay or PIP? It can be back dated too. X

[Welltroddenpath]

How wonderful! Enjoy some peace and relaxation now ( in mind in nothing else bearing in mind your job!)

[SlothOfSluggishness]

Wonderful news!

[NationMcKinley]

Oh wow I’m so happy to hear your good news. That’s great

[Cuddling57]

What lovely news so pleased for you x

[OrlandoInTheWilderness]

Gosh you have been through it. That is a huge operation. Good luck in your recovery OP.

[Gonegrey31]

Wonderful news !

[twoheaped]

Fantastic news that all cleared.
It will all be a distant, bad memory soon. Well apart from that scar to remind you of course.

[fudgesmummy]

Morning all,
Good news!
All clear, cured by the surgery 🙂
So no further treatment needed and I have been discharged from the hospital
The doctor was very embarrassed that the team had no idea I had been so ill. (The hospital that I was in with the infection is where I had my original appointment and then diagnosis with the Gynaecologist. They are in the same trust)
They hadn’t let them know at all, she was extremely apologetic and I felt a bit sorry for her!
I’m now down to having the wound cleaned, packed and dressed every 2 days, so slowly making progress 🤞🙂
I can hardly believe that the end is in sight. From getting the results of the MRI scan and today was 10 weeks and 1 day. Feels more like 10 years.
Thanks everyone for your support and encouragement xx
