Good evening
Things look as though they are healing well but I am getting a lot of pain from the top 1/4th of the wound.
Now on diclofenic and amitriptyline so lets see if that calms it down a bit.
still doing the protosan soaks every nigth and redressing the usual way. got to try and get appointments with the practice nurse but im working full throttle again... guess thats what the healing is taking time...
wish…
Hi,,,,, sorry i forget to say in the title there are graphic pics too...
so a week of DIY dressings and prontosan soaks at home. plenty of dressings and painkillers and soon to be all free thanks to the gift of free prescription. now i can get the bp and cholestoral meds free too... how the cost builds up!
the photos below catalogue a few days of dressings... the heal is looking much better now thanks to a podiatrist…
Hi all
I had no idea about prescription entitlements for cancer patients. how many know about this and use it?

going to see my GP on wednesday. if i am entitled then i will complain to the hospital who have never said anything about it...i have been paying the usual £7.20 an item and have been asked many times to get bandages etc so i can redress the wound at home…
Hi....
In summary

Hi
Decided to try redressing the wound myself. Have to admit its nice when I go the hospital and they they pick off the sluff and afterwards its looks great. The picking of sluff and the slightly rougher exfoliating the nurses do are things I cant do myself. Therefore, unfortunately, it never looks as good and to be honest it looks more granulated than last wednesday.
Anyone else do their own similar dressings at home…
