hi everyone

newest pics 29 aug 2010 - back to work a month now... i have to be honest that it hasnt got any better for this and i am now worried i need to take more time off. dressing are now.. 50/50 moisturiser whole leg - jelonet the wound then aquacell (not ag) then gauze then surgipad then lymphoedema stocking...daily painkill...ers are now 3 x 50mg dicolofec 25mg amitriptalyine and up to 4x2 co-codomel as and when i need them but having to take fybogel on those days as codeine bungs me up...

hope everyone is well... i have now moved to hinchley wood in surrey to be near my job which is walkable but i am taking it easy for now. new flat and flatmates are great and supportive. gp surgery opposite are good also.

thanks for all the support given over the last 6 months... its been a long haul and im not there yet but i hope it will all end soon.

take care

Hi Peter,

Good to see the scab healing up. Thats handy a flat near work and your GP just across the way.

Keep up the good work. All the best.

Take care Sarsfield.

Hello Peter, nice to hear from you. Yes your leg is healing but not very fast - unfortunately you have to work to keep the roof over your head/food in your stomach and that's what is delaying things - you will get there. Your blog reads very positive though. Don't worry about taking the tablets, I take them all the time. If it stops pain then happy days. Please don't just drop-off from us, it would be nice to see the end result - you back to yourself and living your life, which will come. Ann x

That wound looks really good Peter, - mine certainly wasn't as "pretty" as that at the stage you have reached, i never achieved nice rounded edges, - keep up the good work, - a before and after picture would be good to see, -

Pleased to know you are living in a much more convenient place for both work and the GP, -

xLynn
