The universe hates me
When my wound was dressed after the procedure on Wednesday I had three quite large dressings applied to hold everything in place. The wound is fairly large and needs packing with something called aquacel - the hospital couldn’t provide me with any on Wednesday, so yesterday I had to go back for some so that I could give them to the nurse at the doctor’s when redressing the wound. Since I was at IAU anyway to collect the packing they redressed the wound for me with one fairly small dressing.
When I woke up this morning the dressing had fallen off and the packing fallen out - the doctor’s couldn’t fit me in and I went to the NHS walk in centre in Walsall who measured the size of the hole (3cm wide by 2cm high by 1.5cm deep - ouch) and have applied yet another type of dressing (this one seems a lot more secure).
