So i forgot that my specialist actually works in here!
after the drs assessment, the scans and my gastroenterologist they believe its a severe reaction to dairy and the hernia as well

Re: not coping

So pleased your symptoms are being taken seriously @outlander and that you are being taken care of as you should. Have you let your Mum know you are at the hospital? She may need to check on your Pop if you are in overnight.

Great that your specialist works there too. What do they plan to do for you?

@Anastasia @Eve7

How are you this evening @Former-Member ? Sorry I didnt get back to you earlier. Been a difficult day. I will try to get to my thread a bit later and tag you then for a chat if you are still around. Need to wait until hubby goes to bed though, and hes watching the footy. Can only do quick replies via mobile until then.

@Eve7 question you may be able to help with, being a nurse. Perhaps you too @Sans911 . May sound a simple or silly thing, but its really bugging me.

Finally allowed to remove dressings from my Core biopsy sites from Tuesdays tests today. Yay! Still very sore. They went in 5 times with their core biopsy instruments and lots of black bruising now. The needle aspirations of nodes site are fine, no problems at all. Just several small blue bruises visible.

What is bugging me though is the sticky residue from the dressings. No amount of soap and water under my long awaited shower this afternoon would get it all off. And I keep sticking to everything! Short of a cotton wool wad and stacks of metho, how do I get it off? 😕

Re: not coping

That’s great that your specialist is there. What is happening now @outlander ? Are you being admitted?

In response to: Re: not coping

Re: not coping

@emeilia8 try a little bit of baby oil or rubbing alcohol. You should be able to buy to buy it from chemist.
I use to use those kfc wipes lol just to remove the sticky stuff not near the wound though.

Re: not coping

Oo poor you @Emelia8 all that bruising and sticky as well. I’m unsure how to remove it as I haven’t nursed in years but maybe try Vaseline??? Good luck and big hugs 💙🤗💙

Re: not coping

My nails are in a similar state @Anastasia I had a pedicure recently but I wouldn’t dare show anyone my finger nails. That’s good self care.

I cancelled my pdoc appointment for today but his secretary rang and said he’ll see me on Tuesday so I just have to get my head together for that.

Re: not coping

Oh really @outlander ?... I actually have some KFC wipes. Will try that. Avoiding the holes as much as possible. Still got a couple of steri-strip tapes over them anyway. Maybe vaseline afterwards ... thanks @Eve7 . Its just with the skin being very thin and soft in that area .. everything sticks. Like my underarm keeps sticking to the side of my boob! Very annoying. 😮

Re: not coping

Your poor bruised boobies @Emelia8 not nice at all for you.

So glad you’re here @Sans911

Re: not coping

Thanks @Eve7 💕💕💕

Oh dear lil Sis @outlander - not good that you aren't well but glad you've got yourself to hospital, and hopefully they can help a little or a lot. Gentle hugs my sweet angel 😘😘😘

@Emelia8 - those dressings have the worst adhesive. It's a pest to get off. Hopefully you've found the wipes to work. Otherwise you can use a teeny, tiny bit of eucalyptus oil on a tissue and that will work too.
