My nightmare came true.
There was a lot of drainage to the flap where the incision was made so the
doctor takes out a staple to allow that drainage to come out. It gets
worse. I now have a larger hole in my butt than I had before. It's a
different one because it pulled apart. I'm now dealing with a 5cm long and
5cm deep wound in the back of my leg that is putting in more pain than the other
sore ever did. So what do I have to do? Wet to dry and wait for it to fill
in. Nursing will only come a few times a week now and less each
week. It hurts too bad to touch it myself so I guess back to the hospital
I go. A nursing home most likely and God knows for how long. I'm at
a loss and don't know what to do.
Has this happened to anyone else? If so how did you get the care for the
dressing changes if you stayed home. Medicare won't pay for daily nursing
care. I'm concerned about the healing time and my check being taken away
after I am there awhile. This will not be a quick healing process at all.
If I am in a facility more than a couple/few months, they take the check to
offset the costs, leaving me to fend for myself.
I am pissed off as hell that I got this flap surgery to only have it be
replaced by a larger and more painful wound. I didn't think there
could be more pain involved but I was wrong. There is no flap to fix this
flap. I just have to wait and hope it heals sometime soon otherwise more
time off of school, more depression, and who knows what else this new wound will
bring with it.
