Oh no! Sorry to hear that. Did you contract the infection in hospital?Just had a set back, Doc been and he has diagnosed the red heated patch above my ankle a cellulitis..., I did start the antibiotics Friday afternoon so hopefully they have started to work other wise it will mean hospital.
Not sure Lynne, I think it was ehen meds were changed but could be wrong. Last night was the worst so far!Oh no! Sorry to hear that. Did you contract the infection in hospital?
Yes, the nights can be dreadful. Endless.Not sure Lynne, I think it was ehen meds were changed but could be wrong. Last night was the worst so far!
Hi Lynne, wish I could say 'on top form' but can't,Yes, the nights can be dreadful. Endless.
How are you feeling today?
Sorry you had a bad night Hazel,hope it settles quick.Not sure Lynne, I think it was ehen meds were changed but could be wrong. Last night was the worst so far!
Know the feeling all too well. Unless you've had this op it's impossible to explain how difficult it can be. Tried telling the pre-op nurse last week and she looked at me like I was nuts!Hi Lynne, wish I could say 'on top form' but can't,
Had op at 11am and, so far so good. Know from experience I have a loooong road ahead though.Know the feeling all too well. Unless you've had this op it's impossible to explain how difficult it can be. Tried telling the pre-op nurse last week and she looked at me like I was nuts!
Hopefully, by the time I surface again in a few days, you'll be feeling much better.
We can buoy each other up over the coming weeks.
Just hope my husband of 41 years doesn't feel like a new woman in a few days when I've got the almighty grumps!Great your opp is over , just have to get better and you'll feel like a new women .
I've still a few months to wait
I've got my husband 36 years who else would have him lol.Just hope my husband of 41 years doesn't feel like a new woman in a few days when I've got the almighty grumps!
Hello Ladies, Lynn, I hope you are feeling good, just had my clips out by a trainee nurse, she did very well. Last three stung a bit but leg feels so much better without them pulling...wound nice and clean, had a dressing on for just today, got to let the air get to it from tomorrow.Hazel , how are you today?

Leg also a bit better, not as red, starting the strong antibiotics in the morning. Did the walking across the room again only to find the crutches still in the back kitchen!
Hubby hung the washing out this morning, we have a dryer but...he was all fingers and thumbs. I gave him two items a time with the pegs pegged to his sweater...his comments..hope the neightbours don't see him! If anyone has fool proof advice re sleeping well ( keep it clean) I would appreciate it. Saw every hour again last night, I think nights are the worst part of this procedure.
Hello Lynn.Hi Hazel,
Last night was endless. Was in the High Dependency Unit for 24 hours and was disturbed virtually every hour for obs. etc.
Back in my room and have just had my first visit from a physio. Pain has well and truly kicked in. And she's coming back this afternoon. Mustn't complain. Know how vital the exercises are.
This afternoon I am having the drain removed, plus the catheter (once the physio has got me mobile). All good fun.
No ideas for a good night's sleep, I'm afraid. From experience, that only comes with time.
Only in for three nights this time round and looking forward to a visit from hubs again later and my daughter this evening - pain permitting!
