Doesn't sound too fun! Keep yourself resting! I hope you recover very quickly and without anymore "bursts". Sounds painful! Take care hun!
Love,
chanda

That's the really odd thing it doesn't hurt - I don't know why but it doesn't.
Still they said now its all out that it shouldn't "flood" again. Here's hoping.

I hope you heal and recover quickly!!! I'll have u in my thoughts...Stay strong gurlie

Ishy, yeah I also hope u will recover with no more bursts or complications!

I'll send u healing thoughts!!!

feel better soon kia!

That sucks I hope u feel better soon

Ehhh nice! I'm really surprised they are letting you come home and arent keeping you at the hospital! Did they leave the incision open and just pack it? Or did they close it with the seaweed guaze in there?? Hopefully the antibiotics will clear up whatever infection it is that you have! Take care of yourself! And....Rest!

Ouuuch. I know it wasn't painful for you but ouch anyway. I'll pray for a fast recovery for you!

Do you need anything? Are you comfy? Getting enough sleep babe? How's "himself" treating you?

How many more doc visits do you have?

Have you set a balloon date?

Awww, kia, I would've cried too. I think this is one of those instances where you're allowed to do that.

<~~~~~~ sending you healing thoughts

Lauren cuz it burst they couldn't close it back up as the edges of the wound aren't nice and precise anymore (they might knock me out again at a later date and re cut and stitich ).
They aren't happy about me not being in hospital but they also could see how much I wasn't getting better while there and that I am far happier at home.

Jess, I have unlimited doctors visits - until I am healed. At the moment they are daily visits as technically I am still in hospital Just they are letting me be an "outpatient" as I am impatient lol

himself is being excellent, anything I want he does. It is hard for him and he is really trying but when it comes to the cats especially the litter tray he does struggle. While I am at home it is joint effort like cooking tea, we do it together and I do the bits I can and then ask him to do other bits like bend down and put a tray in the oven or get it out.
I tell him what needs to go in washing machine, he puts it in, I select washing powder and programme. - teamwork!!!

Plus he is happier knowing I have creature comforts like internet, tv, telephone, comfy chairs, fresh drinks, cats, etc while he has to work, rather than being sat depressed in a ward of sick people with only tepid tap water to drink.

It may not be nice to say but for the week I was in hospital he looked worse and worse each day, he had real bad lines on his face and definately wasn't looking after himself, but just a couple of days home and he started to relax the lines eased and he spruced up again.

I can definately say I have been lucky enough to find my soul mate and can see that we both need each other just as much we are a true team.
I don't know how to thank him enough for what he has done for me just by being there, for the strength I get from him.

You're so lucky to have found such a great man. If he looks bad when you're sick, then that definitely means he loves you. I think you're like me when it comes to marriage (not enthusiastic), but after everything you've been through together, do you ever consider it?

nope - never consider marriage.
We have a long term commitment to "still love each other even when we are old and decrepit and totally incapable, wrinkles and all" - how soppy can you get?

Together you can get thru anything thats great babe!

Kia, i'm sorry to hear that you're having problems. I hope you get better soon!!! I'll keep you in my thoughts.
