Cellulitis?

So sorry you're going through this. That looks really sore and swollen! Don't apologise on here. Assuming you're still in hospital atm? Jo x

That sounds scary. I'm glad you got seen speedy cellulitis is son sneaky.  Hopefully, incontinence issues will be dealt with swiftly and hygienically and you will be moved to more suitable ward one a bed comes available. Why don't you have a word with the staff nurse about your concerns or ask a relative to discuss it for you. You will recover quicker if your not scared and uncomfortable in your surroundings x I wish you a speedy recovery and your reconstruction looks great. I only had a lumpectomy and reduction on both sides and it looks better than mines. 

Although you are in a hospital, contact your breast nurse. I may be over-cautious, but I don't have full trust that communication from where you are would reach your consultant and surgeon as fast as we would want it to. It might, but you want to be sure. 

The difference in size is obvious, but although it currently does look red and swollen it is also easy to see that the surgeon has done a great job matching it to the other one, so current trouble aside, someone did a really good plastics job there!

I hope things get better fast, please let us know.

Have seen 1 medical consultant, 1 Oncologist and tomorrow I will be seeing my breast surgeon. Fingers crossed for their presumed combined expertise. Antibiotics not kicked in yet.

Thank you GreyCats I’ve managed get BCNs in the loop xxx

Thank you, tomorrow is hopefully going to yield some results one way or another

Thanks. I am relieved to hear that your team are now all aware of what is going on.

As for the antibiotics, this can take a little time to kick in. A blind guess from me is that they may have started you on broad-spectrum antibiotics but may switch you to more specific if needed once they know exactly what it is. 

I hope you get a restful night and that things get better by morning!
