Infected!

Sooo... It's been hot and red and swollen. A neighbors sister is a nurse, she took one look at it and said they'd infected! I called the clinic and they said come in. Went to see Dr P. It's definitely infected. I've got lots of antibiotics to take - 3 a day for up to 6 weeks! Need it to hurry up and get better really soon as I'm off on holiday on Sunday! 

Taken Monday 4th May - 5 weeks and 3 days

Still very swollen and sore hardly any movement

Last fracture clinic appointment one month since op

Soooo pretty pointless going really. But the bandage is off! He had a very quick look at it and said to book in with physio and then make an appointment to see him in 4 - 6 weeks. Miserable nurse was her usual happy rude self. The rest were lovely as always. Trainers on! Time to get it better! I can't wait to get it clean in the shower! 

Some left foot before pics

4 weeks one day

The bandage comes off now but not permanently yet. I go on Monday to fracture clinic. See pics below. The right foot was in a trainer by this time. Hopefully the bandage goes Monday. 

 

17 Day - 2nd Fracture Clinic Appt

Soooo. Dr P was there today. He took the dressing off and the stern strips. It's grim but looks like the right foot did, maybe a little worse. 

As with the right foot, the incision is white as the humidity here makes it that way. Plus all the sweating. He said like he did last time, wounds in Bermuda are always like that BUT the nurse accused me of getting it wet! She was very accusing even when I said firmly , no I had not. She then said have you had it in the bath?!

  So rude! When I've got a special plastic bootee thing to wear in the shower. I'm fuming but I said to her, the Dr just said why it's like that AND the other foot was the same! Cheek! See pics
