Any medical types bit of advice needed. Don't look if sqeaumish!

[Amapoleon]

I had a lump taken out of my breast about 10 days ago. Everything has been fine, wound looks fine, not sore etc.

In the night I must have turned on to my front and I have woken up this morning with blood on me, the mattress has a large stain and there was a pool on the floor.

Yesterday it did feel a little bit lumpy above the wound on my nipple. I thought the infection may have been back, I had about 5mls of pus drained for tests a few weeks ago.

So my question is, is this a build up of old blood that has found a way out because of the pressure?

It would be really difficult for me to get to A and E and don't want to unless really necessary. Thanks

Just realised I can't spell squeamish, must have been a rush of blood! hahaha

gosh, i didn't know you 'd been going through this.. hope you are ok

did you lose red blood? that is fresh bleeding.

can you call doctor/nurse/surgeon for advice?

can anyone come out to you if you can't go out?

a pool of blood on the floor does not sound ideal, TBH

Hi, thanks, yes I've kept the lump thing quiet, hopefully get the results this week. The blood does look pretty fresh. I can call all of the above but don't want to have to lug all the way over to Gib, unless I have to. I am no longer in the Spanish system so I would have to go to gib.

ah, right, i know my ILS are members of helicopeteras saniteros (SP?) who are docs who will make a home visit to you in spain ... not sure if you can pay them per visit, or it is only via a monthly subscription.

perhaps you could phone someone for advice and see what they recommend?

Thanks, I used to be a member, quite handy for the kids.

I just want someone to say, don't worry , stick a plaster on hahaha .

Think I'm going to have to lug to Gib!

fraid not, my lovely.

xxxxx

Thanks, will do xxx

Yes Lulu is right, sorry you have to travel though

i hope it is all ok xx

Thanks, just trying to get hold of the breast nurse now.

Got hold of breast nurse and she thinks it is probably normal. A haematoma [sp] left over from op that I have put pressure on in the night.

I just panicked because it looked like something out of a horror movie.

Gosh Ama I hope the breast nurse is right. Take care x

(I'm Indith, keep forgetting I've changed my name!)

my mum had a similar thing after a gall stone op - she ended up with a sort of plaster that had a drain in it - to let it empty out - the district nurse changed every day or so - took a week or two, also had antibiotics.

Hope it mends soon.

Thanks. Hi Indith what was

thats something ! hope you improve soon x

Thanks, keep your fingers crossed on Wednesday, when hopefully I get my results.

i certainly will x
