Further update - as weekly on Tuesdays is my day to head back to surgeon & his nurse to review my two sites. Opted for afternoon appointment so I could go straight home.
Had needed Cephalexin Mon on Tuesday to Thursday night inclusive due to the constant stinging that tearing out all the hairs in my donor site last week had caused.
The main site looked really good yesterday after a good clean up, nice amount of pink skin growing from the inside out. Surgeon was really happy. New dressing and antiseptic cream put on then normal dressing.
The donor site was again the issue. Even after 2 saline tubes and waiting 10 mins. the middle of the wound wouldn’t release the dressing, so it bled again as it was taken off. Nurse really apologetic as she tore it off.
Antibacterial cream and dressing re-applied. Back to the constant stinging last night and fell asleep after taking another Cephalexin Mon. Much better today but back to wearing shorts and working from home - can see the blood under the Opsite dressing.
Until next week…
