PLEASE can I have advice or reassurance that my leg looks normal, cos I am fretting

[psychomum5]

look bad, still bleeding, pics on profile (but only look if you are not overly squeamish cos they doo look nasty IMVHO).

is this normal looking is what I am asking, as DH is going green when I ask, and I am a big wuss who thinks my leg is gonna drop off at any given moment!

its ok

Ooh that looks nasty Psycho. Hope you are ok.

I love the new hair, you look like a double of my friend.

thanks fimbo

feeling odd right now tho.....and dd1 says i look ill....

Just seen this Psycho, could you ring NHS direct for advice?

they would probably tell me to attend A&E tho, and I don;t want to.

it is probably just everything catching up with me TBH. no sleep, fretting, painkillers on not-very-full tummy.

if I still feel odd in the morning I will go to the walk-in clinic at the docs. I do feel ill tho

Can you go and lie down for a while?

I spent most of Sat afternoon in A & E, its horrible, so I am with you on not wanting to go.

Hope you get a decent nights sleep.

am in bed, have toast made by DD2 (she thinks it makes everything better), neighbour has the small three, DD1 has made coffee and now tidying her room.

am trying to relax, but tea will need sorting and poor DH has sorted food for days now, I want to be back to normal tonight so he can rest.

sorry to hear you're still feeling rough, but you know it makes sense for DH to get tea tonight as well......if you try and do too much too soon, it'll take longer to get back to normal. Rest up while you can

co-codamol, especially the scary 30mg stuff, makes me go all relaxed as well. Not entirely unpleasant, but not entirely pleasant either, although I can see why folks get addicted to it.

yeah, have taken all I need, (and am able), but feel just plain odd.

am pale with floaty eyes and red cheeks according to DD1, and my neighbour who comes with me for the school run walked me into the house thinking I was about to keel over I went so odd looking

I think DH might need to do the school runs tomorrow, I think it is the driving that is causing me to not rest properly.

Don't worry about DH sorting food - he will manage fine. Some people are single parents remember, and if they manage then he can at least manage for a little bit while you recover. If he were ill I bet he wouldn't be wasting time feeling guilty about not being able to do stuff.

actually trillian, he is pretty healthy and fab and carrying on when he is ill......puts me to shame, I have his share of man-flu I think

But if he couldn't do stuff, he wouldn't. Don't hurt yourself trying to do more than you can. You'll get better quicker if you rest, and be able to do more for your family than if you make things worse by doing stuff you shouldn't.

I know, I know.

I just wasn;t thinking it would be this bad, and take this long, and still not be ok, and feel sick and crap

There there

Haven't read whole thread so can only say boo to your horrid sore stitches but while I was nosying on your profile I had a look at the rest of your pictures and you are a very beautiful woman (if that doesn't sound too Swiss Toni). Can see where all those great-looking kids sprang from!

Get well soon psycho, where would MN be without your bold and italics

I like that you like it even when I am storking...

am very glad that I am appreciated for my bold, my italics, and my BOTH TOGETHER

trillian, I have had lots of storking, hence the children!!

thankyou for the continued sympathy................feeling very sorry for myself ((can ya tell))

still feeling like something the cat sicked up?
poor you.

yes,

now coughing lots......thinking I am coming down with something on top actually.

and

I have come on too, just when I can;t have a nice soak in the bath too

Do you have a hot water bottle or 6 to pack around you?

I read that as a hot water bottle or a 6 pack!

yes, but am feeling hot already, so that will tip me over the edge I think. altho it is an option for is the tummy gets too bad later

Sorry have to go attend to dinner so can't keep up with the hair-storking!

Very cold water in hot water bottle instead then?

tis ok....DH is out shopping at the mo, but will be home soon and will get me comfy again
