Yesterday morning I had the last of the surgical staples removed. By mid-afternoon the wound had started to gape so back to the doctor and now I have to have it checked and the dressing changed daily.
The wound itself isn’t giving me a lot of pain but I’m getting terrible muscle spasms in my back and side that literally steal my breath and ability to think.
I do have a massage booked tomorrow so hopefully that will help.
I spent last night at my parents and I had the benefit of mum’s long experience working nights in rest homes. She was up every couple of hours helping me to shift position and move about, and I had the best periods of sleep that I’ve had since the surgery. Thanks mum. I’ll stay here again tonight and we’ll see what happens next.
