hi everyone... not posted for a week as the wound was looking the same all the time. but this is my last week off now so i am hoping they will take me out of all this heavy dressing and get me into a lympho stocking. UI am still dressing with acticoat, gauze, pad then tubi fast, tubi net but now only a single layer of tubigrib instead of double. I am still also doing the prontosan soak and plenty of 50/50 all over the leg and healed parts of the wounds.
Lymphoedema is minimal as i am really trying to keep the leg elevated all the time so the wound finally heals and i can get on with my life. when i do go out for appointments at the hospital or my trip to surbiton to view new apartments, the lymphoedema flairs up and the leg is double the size and in a lot of pain. no change in painkillers although this afternoon i have a drugs review with my gp.
regarding the fundraising CD.. the london branch of the macmillan fundraising team have contacted me and informed me they have approached the music industry in the past and will will contact them for me to see what we can do to get this project on the shelves for sale.
2 photos only... one before cleaning the other after cleaning. do i need to put the graphic photo warning still? i dont think they are bad anymore.. what do people think?
have a good week
Peter
