Re: F.A.O.Artangel!

Yes Art, are the stitches out yet, or is it too soon?
Hope it's healing well.

Glad you're on the mend again Tabs.

Re: F.A.O.Artangel!

ST, I am Sorry, l didn’t see this thread until now. How kind of you to care. I am so pleased you are pain free and your toe is now on the mend.

I have the stitches out on Monday.
I went to see the nurse last Monday and yesterday and she said, it’s doing well. There’s no swelling or sign of infection. So that’s good!
She did put on a dressing that contains silver, she said this aids the recovery of the wound. I had never heard of a dressing containing silver before?

I can walk normally again but l dare not bend my knee too much in case l burst the stitches!
I had a go at trying to drive, thinking it would be ok. Operating the accelerator would have been ok but l couldn’t operate the brake as it needed more pressure.
As someone who is fiercely independent, that made me feel a bit desolate and lost. It’s just a matter of time now and l hope it flies, l just want to be back to normal!

Thank you Mups for asking too.

Sounds like you have mended well art.
Only a couple more days to go and it will all be over.

Silver is an antibacterial, it's why in a traditional nurse's uniform the belt buckle was always silver.

True. It is good protection against the dreaded MRSA.

Re: F.A.O.Artangel!

The dressings must cost if they have silver in them and l have had two put on this week.

I read, that the dressing containing silver must not go on healthy skin.
The nurse does cut the shape of my wound out of a larger piece. I suppose the spare bit is then discarded?
What a waste!

Re: F.A.O.Artangel!

No probs, of course removing stitches I would have to make sure I was pulling correctly. I would hate to hear squeals of delight.
