Hi all,
My Dad had a fibular free flap reconstruction and neck dissection on 20th February. Six days into his recovery it failed and he had to have it all removed and re-done using skin and tissue from his right arm.
That was three months ago. Since leaving hospital he’s had at least five post operative infections and spends a lot of his time in agony. His current infection is the worst and he’s been throwing up. He’s been prescribed antibiotics and they seem to be helping. His consultant said he may need a MRI. This seems to be a step that should be done as a matter of urgency but my Dad’s consultant seems more relaxed about it than we are.
Is it normal to have this number of infections? Is it normal to be in so much pain?
Thank you for reading this,
