Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi @Former-Member I saw the surgeon today.

He said yes, with infections (& wound splits) - I'm not well enough to return to work next week (need more time off).

Yet he didn't answer my questions about:

1)When it will be okay for me to bend over (I was told not to).

2) When it will be okay to do my Yoga classes again (which involve bending & stretching).

3) How long I need to keep wearing this waist pressure band for.

He did not give me a script for antibiotics either, even though he acknowledged that I still have a wound infection.

Which means that I will have to make yet another trip to a Dr (or call locum), if infection does not clear soon.

A bit frustrating - I asked all the right questions, & gave the surgeon as much information (Re:infection) as possible.

Yet no action was taken, & my questions were not answered.

Can I gently suggest you ring the surgeons rooms @Adge and let them know the doc did not tell you how long to wear bandage, no bending and yoga resumption. They will let you know if doc will ring you or if a further appt needs to be made.

Garden going slow.
