Re: Update on Pixie

So pleased for you Pixie. Sounds like you're doing really good, which is good news

Re: Update on Pixie

my stiches well some on top are not healing as they should still red
will go to the docs next week

Re: Update on Pixie

Ann darlin' - had a similar problem myself last week - District Nurse who comes in to change the dressing suggested I ask Doctor for an anti-biotic to kill off any possible infection that may be causing a slow down of the healing process. Have had a week's course of an anti-biotic, which seems to have cleared up the infection.

Re: Update on Pixie

Re: Update on Pixie

Ann darlin' - yes you'll feel much better after you've been able to have a bath. One of the first things I did when I got home from the hospital was to go and have a shower - I have a wet room shower cabinet with a seat in it, so was able to sit and let the hot water pour all over me - felt fabulous!!!
