Pre-op in 6 days, desperately after advice please.

Ulcer dressings
The Wound Formulary for my area of England no longer recommend Mepilex, which are a foam dressing that I've found comfortable and effective. When I finished a course of dressings I was given more of the non-adhesive dressing that had been used, to have under my compression hosiery. There was no gauze

Blood blister after surgery
About 4.5 weeks after abdominal surgery, wound looked almost healed, then what looks like a blood blister has appeared. Oozing some blood and dark surrounding but no pain or warmth. Anyone else have this, and should I get it checked urgently?

Could I have an infection?
I had my laparoscopy last Friday, so just over a week ago and I was told to shower after 48hours and to not touch/remove my dressings until 10days later (which will be tomorrow). However I've noticed that the dressing has some pus/discharge underneath it. I've also noticed a slight lingering smell coming

Netflix and Chill@will
Almost 5 weeks later and my
wounds
are healing well. From leaving the hospital the most pain I felt was the brutal discomfort of wind and constipation. 😯 Thankfully no bleeding. ☺☺ My eldest introduced me to Netflix to keep my ass quiet 😂 and it has worked.

3 months post surgery diarrhea
I had an incarcerated hernia in January where they had to remove 11 cm of my small bowel. I have had chronic diarrhea ever since. And abdominal swelling. I mentioned it to my surgeon and family doctor and both felt this was normal. How long will this last?

Hi to all. I'm seeing my breast surgeon on Monday to talk about reconstruction and possible mastectomy on the other side. I had my first mastectomy and nodal clearance in June 2014 and had a skin saving implant put in at the same time so I have skin there already. I've decided that I would also like

Some in the community may have noticed that my recent posts here are a bit more abstract & unusual than others. I am in the process of publishing a series of short stories , or 'memoirs', on PTSD, as I am a long time healthcare worker/ childhood trauma survivor who has battled with it all of her life
