Check-up Time!

We've just been to see the Colorectal Surgeon and he's happy with progress, still got a bit of a twinge but he says that should go soon and still having daily dressings - though they should drop to 2 daily next week - it just ties us down all day for 10 mins at 2:30! I'm awaiting a date for a CT scan prior to seeing the Urology Surgeon for a review in December so he will piggy-back on that to check out my twinge (that's a technical term used by us professionals!).

Can't get on the bike yet but can walk and drive OK

On The Road Again!

I'm driving again - Hurrah!! A great move forward! and the dressing have shrunk from 6" square to 3". I have to go to the surgery each day for them to be renewed and in a week or so that will be every other day.

We watched David Walliams go by - didn't he do well!

If he raises £2m he should get a Knighthood!!

Moving Forward

We're moving forward - slowly! The District Nurses' home visit today was her last, now I can get to the surgery each day for dressings and presumably it will drop to every other day soon. The two holes have become one which makes it easier to dress - they fill it with an absorbant material and it heals from the inside out or bottom up - too much info? sorry! - I spared you the photos! I finish the second lot of antibiotics tomorrow as the recent swab of the wound showed nothing of concern.

I'm feeling OK in myself and getting stronger each day, I just walked to the BMX track in Hills Meadow and back - I want to get to the lock for tomorrow lunch time when David Walliams passes through on his Thames Challenge swim - what a star! - please sponsor him! https://www.sportrelief.com/donate/walliams

My 'Resident Nurse / Pharmacist' continues to spoil me - I would not have survived the last couple of years without her!
