Re: Self-Care with major Physical illnesses
Possible Infection - Tried to bring it to Doctor's attention (he was too busy)
Surgery wound is sore & a bit red -with some fluid discharge.
That's why Medical Centre Nurse thought it was infected - I thought it was (possibly) too.
I had the shivers then felt hot flushes (past few nights) in bed when rugged up comfy - I thought that was a sign of infection.
I remember having shivers & hot flushes when I came home - after one or two of my major surgeries.

Re: Self-Care with major Physical illnesses
Hi @Former-Member Thanks for checking in, thinking of me.
Emoticons are Great, thanks.
Yes Penguins are Birds, like Ostriches & Emus - Probably the only type of flightless Swimming Bird.
All this (2 times) wound split - happened after I had come home on 6th of August.
Was only 1 night in hospital this time.
I finally got to see a GP Dr (not my usual Dr) late Monday afternoon (Booked Yesterday) - that was the earliest available appointment.
Then I started turned the corner (healing up).
GP said that Locum Dr's Steristrips (10.00pm Saturday night) -
- appeared to have held wound separation together.
GP/ Nurse put new Steristrips on.
Then went back to see my normal GP on Wednesday morning - it was still together, healing up.
No, Doctor did not give me any antibiotics - even though Medical Centre Nurse said looked infected.
Wow, maybe I can finally relax (& let go) now (I thought).
No that hasn't happened yet, although I'm very glad my surgery wound is finally healing up (struggle over?).
Need to learn to Relax better....
Other stressors & triggers - feel overwhelmed (no job, dealing with Centrelink, etc).
House needs repairs, spending too much $$, so much needs doing (& I'm not up to doing it).
Sorry - yes I'm good, or going to be (getting there).
I hope you are good & getting there too.
Yes that would really hurt (heaps), how your sister thinks badly of you (for no good reason) - & has cut you off, or won't communicate with you kindly.
There is no excuse for people doing that, I don't understand it at all - my brothers (& Mum) do that to me sometimes.
One brother would not talk to me for several years.
So hard to depersonalise - it feels like it's our fault (my fault), when it isn't, they have Big issues.

Re: Self-Care with major Physical illnesses
If it is a Windows computer @Shaz51, then click on the Windows key (mine is third from the left on the bottom row of the keyboard) and the full stop, and it should come up.
