Recently I was admitted to hospital because the wound from a skin cancer incision had got infected. The wound had to be dressed every six hours and I had to take oral antibiotics. Although I was worried about the wound opening and not healing, I didn't feel sick enough to be in bed all day. I had books to read, iPad and puzzles and TV I was still bored stuck in a room all day. So each day after the wound had been dressed and I had my medication, I escaped from the ward and went for a walk around the streets.
I came across the hospital chapel and went inside for some peace and quiet after the noisy ward.
Now I am home with my soul mate and feeling relieved that the germ has been eradicated but the wound is still trying to heal.
the germs seem to get stronger and stronger and become harder to stop. glad you are home and not stuck in that room. great idea to get out and about. here we have out patient at the hospitals for going to get treatment like yours and then go home and come back. also have wound clinics for that.

Glad to hear you were able to escape from the ward. Get better soon.
ReplyDeleteSkin cancer is no fun, hope that it is now clear and the wound is healing well. Take care and use that sun cream when you go out. I used to lie in the sun for hours in mu younger days!!! I have had one small one cut out of my back otherwise I have been lucky so far! Take care and get well asap. Thoughts are with you, t'other Diane

ReplyDeletei also meant to say that the photo effects are lovely :)
ReplyDeleteWell let's hope it heals well, takes a while.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you have been unwell. Healing seems to take much longer as we age. Hubby and I seem to be constantly in the wars over one thing or another. All the best for full recovery.
ReplyDeleteWishing a good recovery.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are home again.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your hospital stay, but I'm glad you're now back home. I hope the wound heals completely -- and quickly!
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear you are home Diane, those germy bugs are nasty things ✨
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are home. That sounds very nasty. The watercolour photos are really good.
ReplyDeleteSounded awful for you Diane. Glad to read it's healed to the point you can be at home.
ReplyDeleteLove the watercolour photo effects... glad you got out for walks, that would've been refreshing xx
I wrote my email before coming here ! Good that you are home now !
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I am so sorry to hear all that. A friend just got out of the hospital and is bedridden at home for a while. She is already very bored she said. Speedy recovery Diane.
ReplyDeletep.s. the chapel photos are lovely!
ReplyDeletePleased you are home, wishing you a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Diane, glad to read that you are back at home with Bill, and hope the healing continues now that the cause has been eliminated. Interesting that you were able to "escape" from the ward and go for walks.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a few days since your post so I'm praying the medication has started kicking in to help heal your wound. Praying. xx
ReplyDeleteOh, no - I missed this one but came searching after I got your e-mail. My friend, Barb S ,had a precancerous wound on her shin that took forever to heal. It was in a place where she could not keep it immobile. Hope you don't have any more difficulty with your wound! Bob had to have a hunk taken out near belly button, but it healed well. He's always been a sun worshipper so now often has skin lesions that need to be frozen or biopsied.
ReplyDeleteI did miss a post! My Excuse is, we have been out in the woods camping. No WiFi, limited phone service. It’s good for our sanity once in a while. Anyway, ouch! and i hope you’re feeling much better soon.
ReplyDeleteThat does not sound like fun at all. I hope you are totally healed by now. And hope you got your frustrating blogger issues solved permanently. I am so far behind on reading blogs.
