I have been pooping for England overnight! Exactly a week after the op and bowels moving with gusto. The wound on my side is still leaking copious amounts of plasma. The District Nurse came again yesterday and changed my dressing. She used a large absorbent one but it still filled up by about nine pm. She had left me a couple of ordinary dressings so I padded one out and that lasted til around four am. She's ringing some time this morning. I have hospital on Tuesday so I guess they will sort it out properly then.
