Hi everyone... Just back from plastic dressings clinic.
GROIN - the liquid gushing out is now clear and not infected so happy with the that. Just got to keep and eye on any further infections.
GRAFT DONER SITE - pretty much healed
SNB WOUND - see photos below. only a little bit of sluff yet to come off and a fair bit of over granulation but its all under control. Monday they will start to deal with the over granulation.
I am hoping to get back to work in 2 weeks so I am staying very positive and doing everything i am told by the hospital.
Best moisturiser - given to me by the hospital - Liquid parafinn 50% with 50% White soft Parafinn. Great for the graft doner site but also everywhere else including hard cracked feet! Lisa gave me a 500gm tub of it today...
Support - thank you everyone for your support and comments. I am posting here and on my facebook page and to everyone on my hotmail address list. some like the updates and not the pics and some dont like the pics... some people dont even know who i am!!! ah ah ah ,,,, You soon realise its a big boat we are all in together and so its great to share experiences.
Photos to follow... you have been warned.
