End of Week 4 post op
Well since Monday’s scare the rest of this week the wound seems to have been looking fine according to everyone who has seen it. The results of the swab aren’t back yet, but there doesn’t seem to be any cause for alarm, which is somewhat of a relief.
In fact the nurse who saw it today said it looked as thought it would benefit from not being re-dressed tomorrow because the dressing was fairly dry, I’m a bit skeptical about that. The theory is that every time it’s messed about with it disturbs the new tissue growth so the longer it can be left between dressing changes the quicker it will heal. The downside being that cleaning it helps to prevent infection and remove the debris from the wound bed.
Anyway, I’m feeling ok and trying not to relax my healthy habits which is easy to do after you start to feel better. Another glass of water and a rice cake beckons …
