All hell has broken loose- Pt2

Well, it's me again.


Sunday 5th was rushed to A and E, I felt something warm on my skin and thought
I had split coffee on my nightie...only to find blood (squeamish look away now) ......

dripping on floor, lifted nightdress, and found one the remaining dressings
soaked, grabbed a clean tea towel, made compress and rang 999.

Taken to hospital at 6am, and whilst I was waiting in the cubicle , the police bought in a
foul mouthed drunken female, less than 20 years old. After a tirade of abuse she dozed off, I felt sorry for the staff.

When I was seen, the doctor decided that brusing that should have been absorbed
by the body had not, so it erupted out instead.


I am now home, wearing what I best can describe as a mini colostomy bag.

I now waiting for the District Nurse to come and show how to care for it.

Just as well I do not mind the sight of blood.

 

Oh Lili,I am sorry to see this,it certainly sounds like a set back but hopefully it will do the trick and you'll soon be on the mend

 

So sorry to read his and how distressing for you to have to go through it. Sending love, light and healing vibes your way, please take it easy if you can and rest up x x x

 

Hope you are soon well. Sometimes the body needs a bit of help I use extra fruit when I am ill.

 

Hope you recover soon. Best wishes.

 

Hope the body heals now the sun's arrived Liliana,
be gentle with yourself,
Jenny

 

Good afternoon liliana - well done for keeping a calm head when you had your shocking discovery.
Hope the District Nurse has now been and shown you how to care for the wound/dressings and that from now on it will be healing well.
Try not to overdo anything either but do enjoy recuperating in a little sunshine

 

You've had a tough time Liliana, I wish you well soon and try not to over do things, you need rest right now.

 

I feel for you, it can be frightening and upsetting when things go wrong with our health.
Wishing you a more comfortable and speedy recovery!

 

Hope you get better soon.

 

get well soon x

 

Oh golly, I've only just seen this thread @liliana, what a terrible time you've had, how are you now?
Wishing you a speedy recovery

 

Thanks for all your kind wishes.

Update: I have had to have the ' Colostomy Bag' changed twice - firstly by the District Nurse, who basically said 'YOU WILL REST' not even any ironing (Lolimac )

When I went to the nurse at the surgery, the first thing she said was ' Are you going to sue'?

I feel as limp as a dying piece of lettuce. I went shopping this morning and usually the OH gets to push the trolley, well I need the trolley to lean on, and I use his stick to point out what I need off the shelves.

I think I shall see if I can see my own doctor on Tuesday, and see when she thinks I can have the bag off, the surgeon at the hospital is not due to see me for another 2 weeks, so I hope that I was due to have the bag on until that visit?.

Otherwise, all I want to do is sleep. Yes, I know the body repairs itself when we are asleep, I am not used to falling asleep 3 or 4 times during the day.
