I Have Had Surgery

So after an eventful time at two different hospitals yesterday after realising something was wrong with my operated foot. After 11 hours In the hospital it turns out my foot is infected and there is potential for it to seep into the bone due to the pins in my toes. I've been given antibiotics and luckily wasn't sepsis or anything. If the antibiotics dont work then there is a real possibility of losing a foot. But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Will keep people posted for now as this kind of infection is pretty serious apparently according to the gp

Good hospital? Good doctor? Try to relax and concentrate on healing, honey.

@Mamapolo2016 it'll be fine I've got a course of antibiotics to take and this weird mesh called iodine mesh that draws out infection to double whammy it so to speak. They were really good in all honesty. Despite the slight upsetting news of what can happen if it doesn't get better and goes into the bone 🙁 . But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Luckily I work for myself and most of my work acquires sitting down. So it's not end of the world at least

@Silentangel It will be. Eat right, sleep right, listen to the doctor.

@Mamapolo2016 yeah definitely it'll be fine I see the nurse end of this week to check it 😊. They were very quick to realise what was going on. But I'm confident the antibiotics will work because I can stomach these at least 😊
