AWAKE.........

Hope you have managed to get some sleep , it always makes me laugh when doctors say rest and sleep help you heel?!! It's no wonder they like to get people home ASAP these days! I could never sleep while in hotel NHS but then I don't really sleep anywhere

Sending a Get Well Soon Kiss

Just for you xxxx

Would to wish Everyone A Happy New Year & and BIG THANK YOU to everyone that helped, advised, lent me their shoulders to cry on & supported  me on my journey.  

Big Hugs

WhatHappened...you made me laugh...what a naughty little cat!!and ...have you found out WhoDunnit yet??Please share ...agog (love murder mysteries )!xxx

Home to my own bed after a sleepless night at hotel nhs.i finished the bookVioletsniff.the murderer was the same man who 40 years ago had murdered the father of the detective investigating the crime.at least staying awake all night gave me time to read it all in one go.

i have two little contraptions attached to my wound dressings.”PICO”anyone familiar with them?they beep all the time and I have them in until dressings clinic next week.the ward sister did say I could take the batteries out for a few hours at night so that I can sleep.at least they are small and easy to put in my pocket unlike the horrible big drainage bags  that I had for 2 weeks last year

PICO (Smith & Nephew) is a canister-free, single-use negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) system consisting of a single-use sterile pump and 2 multi-layered adhesive dressings.

The pump is operated by 2 AA batteries and delivers a continuous negative pressure of 80 mmHg to a sealed wound. Once activated, using a push button, the battery drives the pump for up to 7 days and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) provide alerts for low-battery status and pressure leaks.

Each dressing has 4 layers: a silicone adhesive wound contact layer, which is designed to minimise pain and damage during peel back and to reduce lateral tension; an airlock layer for even distribution of pressure; an absorbent layer to remove exudate and bacteria from the wound; and a top film layer, which acts as a physical barrier and allows moisture to evaporate. The dressing comes in 10 sizes (up to 25 cm × 25 cm). This includes a multisite dressing of up to 20 cm × 25 cm, which is used for awkward anatomical areas. PICO comes with 2 dressings, which between them can absorb up to 300 ml of exudate during 1 week of therapy. PICO can be used during MRI scans, if detached from the pump.

PICO is promoted for a range of wound types. This briefing focuses on surgical incisions with low-to-moderate levels of exudate in people at increased risk of surgical site infections (SSIs).

Hello my lovely fruit loops . I seem to be having a problem with my private messages Londonlass, Sal . I said so much but I’ll try again soon . Been an awful few days for me . I’ve got vertigo which is soo debilitating. My mum fell last night and lay on the floor for 7 hours again . I can’t speak to my step dad due to anger . But he’ll wait . She’s shattered her hip and pelvis and I’ve no idea how we will move forward. On top of that my late fathers brother got in contact after 30 years . Totally surreal 24 hrs . 

But my friends I wish you all you wish for yourselves and hope beyond hope all your dreams come true . Start my new job tomorrow.... if I can walk straight... Londonlass, sorry to be so corney but as one door shuts another one opens . Your employers have no idea what they’ve given away and you my love deserve better . So to you all .... one giant hug from me xxxxx Twinkle51 

Big hugs Twinkle51 xxxx
