10 days post op

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone

I am 10 days post op now. I have spent the last week at home and oddly I have

spent it

watching cooking shows. I think it is the longing for chewable tasty food that

is keeping

me hooked. I am hoping that I learn to both cook and eat healthy varied food

once I get

back to normal eating.

I called the nurse yesterday as my steristrips and waterproof patches werre

still stuck on

hard from the hospital and all the paperwork stated that they would fall off

within the

week. She was amazed they were still stuck on but said all sounded fine. As

they were

rather ugly and had dried blood in them I decided to sit doen last night and

trim them

back ..... which I finished this morning and now they have all come off and the

wounds are

healing lovely.

There is one area that is very swollen and hard (the larger cut just abve my

belly button) is

this where the port is?

I can't wait to get to the mushies stage .... If I make a shepherds pie do I

need to blitz it up

or just mush it with a fork?

I will keep you all up to date ... I am back with my doctor on tuesday for 1st

follow up and

will let you know what he says.
