Seroma - edit: massive infection, Take 2...

[DCBassman]

No sling, just a weak, stiff arm. But no relapse that I can notice. Having said that, the GP surgery won't give me my blood results, saying, "We need to have a chat..." Never encouraging, but they've probably completely lost sight of the gallons of pretty toxic antibiotics I've been given.

All looking better than before then ?

My mate's had negative pressure wound dressings - his issue was ulcers spreading in his toes due to Type 1 neuropathy - just wouldn't heal.

Definitely better, thanks. Just hoping it stays that way.

Good news

Just this minute spoken to GP. CRP back up from 33 to 51, which may mean the infection is still active. Too early to say if this is bad news or not, as more bloods due on Thursday. If it stays up relentlessly...Plan C.

Damn - I was about to go through 'Liking' your recent posts and then I saw that one pop up! Let's hope you can avoid Plan C ...

Would be good. But mustn't jump to any conclusions just yet. I may have simply overdone the physio excercises and inflamed something a bit...

 

[DCBassman]

And as I said, it actually feels pretty good, so I'm a bit puzzled as well...

I don't think you'll need plan C. I'm sure you're clean out of bad luck by now.

Surgeon seen, sutures removed, CRP ignored unless it sticks - good to go back to physio!
Onward and upward!

 

[DCBassman]

CRP dropping - hurrah! Everything returning rapidly toward normal, good movement, even driving easily now. Lots more physio, of course, but damn, it's so much better, just very weak as yet.

Next weekend, I might try a gentle one-mile bimble along Tavistock viaduct!

Onwards and upwards , nice one

Bloods still improving, 7-mile ride done! If next set of bloods ok, then this thread is history.
