Hi all,
Haven’t been in touch for a while now but mercifully still here.
Lungaversary last month which I can only describe as a stormy recovery.
Trichosporon infection In clamshell wound delayed discharge by 4 weeks.
1 month in ICU with terrifying hallucinations which still haunt me today.
Sternum didn’t heal so they had to reconstruct with titanium screws and plates….ouch!
Pneumonia in new right lung last month which was a worry but hopefully sorted.
Latest to report is they have detected Aspergillus on samples taken from clamshell scar and forehead which though only topical the fear is the little bugger gets inside and that’s when the fun starts.
Anyone had any experience of such and if so can I ask what treatment you were undertaking?
Finally, neuropathy in lower limbs making walking impossible without a stick but the good news is i bought this beautiful 1890’s cane from an antique dealer, made from a fruit tree of some sort and I love it.
That’s all for now folks will be back soon.
Xx stay safe.
