A cold and frosty Monday

The district nurse called again today to dress my wound, she seems a little happier with it today. πŸ™‚

My mum drove me to LDS and I bought a new water pump for the BMW, we then called in at the plumbers merchant and bought a new waste outlet for the kitchen sink. I fixed the kitchen sink so no more leaks. πŸ™‚ The BMW went off to the garage and is now fixed. πŸ™‚

A cold Saturday

Another visit from the district nurse this morning to change my dressings, they’re still not very pleased with the state of the wound but managed to get some packing into it today, we’ll have to see how things progress with the antibiotics.

Linda and Samantha called around this evening.

A very frosty morning

Back at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital this morning to see the consultant, the wound appears to be slightly infected so they’ve placed me on a further course of antibiotics. If it gets any worse they’ll take me back into theatre, if it heals then they plan on admitting me again in the new year after my follow up appointment for a further investigation under a general anaesthetic. πŸ™

A lovely sunny day

It’s a bright cold day today, the sort of day that would be great to get out and enjoy but unfortunately I’m not able to get about at the moment. No decision yet on sending me back to hospital, have to wait and see.

I have a few orders to make up but they’ll have to wait a little until I’m able to get back to work but I’m hoping to get everything back up to date within a week or so.

A lot of wind and rain

The district nurses are still concerned about the state of my wound, they’re unable to pack it as it’s blocked by a large clot, they’re currently trying to soften the clot with Granugel but unless there’s progress by Monday I’ll have to visit the hospital once more. πŸ™

The weather today has been dreadful with a lot of rain and high winds.
