… had my bi-monthly post-op visit with my surgeon. I shared with him that I am not happy with how slow it is taking my hole to heal. After listening to my lament he ordered his 3rd Year Resident to open up the hole a little — 3mm in fact.
Now my tummy hurts. I want [...]

Kim measured it today and I now have to share the happy news – which hopefully should make Geeklawyer sigh with relief and gratitude.
The hole has gone from 1.8cm to 1.2c in the space of a week.

… she is sick. She was all shivery last night, while doing my dressing. I am a little concerned as her next visit was to an ER to get herself taken care of. She couldn’t visit me on Saturday for the dressing – she had such severe stomach cramps, claiming she might have food poisoning, [...]

Huzzah! I have an appointment on Monday for a Wound Care Nurse to take a look at my wee little hole that refuses, rather stubbornly, to close.
Hopefully she can recommend a treatment program for the hole so that it can close much more quickly.

I had my wee little visit at the hospital this week. To make sure I’m not dying or any other such nonsense.
Doctor seemed pleased except for one niggling bit — I have a fungal infection of the incision. Joy!

Yipeee, it has gone down from 3.1cm deep to 2.5cm deep. I’m getting closer and closer to that ever elusive shower.

I had a lovely day today just going from patio to patio, with tarotcub and diresquirrel. By mid-afternoon I had to call my nurse as my dressing was getting itchy and a little uncomfortable. She came over to my apartment at 5pm to do my dressing. She took some strip gauze and packed my abdominal [...]
