Dont know whats wrong with me

1 minute read time.

This infection and gaping wound is really getting me down, l am so tired and my mood is so low. I looked at the wound trying to reasure myself that this will all come good but does it no it doesnt. I cant bear the way that my body looks right now yet l have to keep looking. Dont know wether l am looking for improvement or just to make sure its no worse but l just keep doing it. I cant even wee properly l have tried every position on that toilet seat and yet each time l wee it shoots out to the side directly where everything is so open. The nurses come in each day dress the wounds but there is no point as soon as l wee it all falls out. It stings like hell. Tonite another 3 stitches are open sitting there doing nothing l hate it all.They say dont let yourself get constipated some hope of that 2 days of profuse diarrhoea ? due to the antibiotics..................Augmentin 625 mg and Metrodiazole 400 mg to say its a mess is an understatment............how many showers can a person take in a day it seems like they are never ending. How will these wounds ever heal with dressings that wont stay in place, wee and poo constantly getting in the wounds, when will this all end. Ok so my rant and feeling sorry for myself is over for now but he just better not say tomorrow oh well we knew this could happen, l KNOW WE DID but it dont make it no easier

    Do you know Silence, this cancer shit really does take us through some dark and dreadful places. You are going through a really shitty bit (pardon the pun) right now but it honestly will get easier. That's not said lightly 'cos I know when the recovery days/weeks drag on they can sure get us down so just rant away on here and we will listen and understand and answer you with a simple hug 'cos that's all we can do.

    I had my arse hole/rectum removed and a lovely scar right round my perinium, ouch. I used to get the mirror and position it and have a good look and I really didn't like what I saw. Also had a stoma to get used to with smelly diarrehoea ugh. I was lucky 'cos I escaped infection which makes a huge difference. I'm two years down the line from you now and my scar I don't even think about or notice and my stoma is my friend and life saver and it doesn't stop me doing anything I did before.

    There is ligtht at the end of that tunnel honest.

    Take care my friend and I hope tomorrow and beyond bring better days for you.
