Hi everyone... sorry not posted for a while...
Having been to the hospital to be told that i have gone from 85% healed to only 65% healed i was a bit depressed. I am now back on a dressing regime that worked 2 months ago before getting back to work.
I shower in the morning and then prontosan soak the wound for 10-15 minutes. then moisturise the whole leg with 50/50. then apply a small patch of acticoat to the wound. then a small wad of gauze then a surgipad and then the support stocking.
have another check up tomorrow having had the GP nurse look at it last friday. tomorrow is also lymphoedema clinic check up so hopefully it will be good news all round.
3 pics enclosed so as usual dont look if youre squeemish but they are getting more acceptable.
hope everyone else is healing better than me!
i am also into week 2 of my new diet. the mediterean diet via tescodiets,com. check it out but i lost 1 stone in the first week. i know that the usual for a first week when you have a lot to lose but its a good insentive. i know i have along way to go but its going in the right direction. it had been helped by my decision to move nearer to where i work so i am now walking the 1.5 miles to or/and from work every day.
thanks
