I came in hospital on the 1st August for surgery 2nd. Ended up having open surgery as I had a bleed. I’m still here after chest infection that wouldn’t respond to antibiotics & I was rushed to be isolated as I’m highly contagious. Drain still in & the pain is constant throbbing. Thrush in mouth due to nebulisers & the nystatin not working so im not eating just sipping water for last 3 days, beginning to wonder if I will ever get out of here
Thinking of you. Hoping things take a turn for the better. Hugs. xx
So sorry to hear your not doing so great , thoughts are with you xxx
Thank you. The infection is underway now so just need to get moving & get this drain out
Thank you. It’s been a long 11 days since the surgery & today is the first day I’ve had any energy so let’s get on & get home
Hi. I should come off IV antibiotics tomorrow & go on oral at last. Problem is I’ve not had the energy to mobile as this happened within days after surgery so still have the drain in 11 days later & it’s so painful. Feeling better today so I’m pushing myself as I want to get home now so bad. Fingers crossed next week
Hi I’m still in hospital 16 day. Got pneumonia whilst in here. Still got fluid on the lung where I had the lobectomy & trying to get rid of this chest infection. At the moment I don’t have tubes etc so can move about & shower but having another x ray tomorrow to see if there’s any change Julie
