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
