Yes to anti estrogen - 20mg nolvadex before bed and 100mg clomid split am & pm.

I managed to get a picture on Friday of the wound during a dressing change - hopefully Hackski is going to pop up some pics for me - there should be 1 24hrs post op, 1 6 days after that and 1 from Friday which is 17 days post op.

They took rough measurements in hospital after a couple of days and the "hole" was 14cm long, 4.5cm wide & 2.5cm deep. These figures are now (accurately measured) at 12cm long, 4cm wide & 2cm deep.

Sounds like a huge wound still but if you take the "volume" (width x length x depth i make it 163cm2, originally vs 96cm2 now - which means its only 60% of the original size - so hopefully well on track (i love GH!)

Still big - but i think ul agree from the photos it looks a hell of a lot less messy!

Back to doing some upper body work in the gym - just having to be careful to avoid bending/ stretching too much!

MissBC · 25-10-2008, 11:18 PM

THATS AWESOME hahahaha

healing up nicely phil, do you still have the suction dressing on??

huge difference from the 14th -24th, thats good!!

Phil B · 25-10-2008, 11:45 PM

yes still got the suction dressing on - finding its not really that inconvenient to be honest - they said the vac cud be turned off for a couple of hrs a day so iv been to the gym a few times and just unplugged it while i train then "plug-in" after training ready for the drive home.

Got a visit on Monday from a tissue viability specialist who will hopefully tell me all is looking well!

having worked alot in the burns and plastics unit it looks pretty good!!

I have seen similar depth and quality of open wounds and that seems to look like its healing well!! No necrosis that i can see so it should close up ok!!

Jesus m8, those first pics look bad man, if I'd av seen that for real I would have 100% passed out, but looking better now tho. Talk about sods law something like that happening, and the doc or whoever you saw first is a ******* idiot. Hope it heals ok mate

Beklet · 26-10-2008, 12:16 AM

That's not good - looking much better than it was though.....

ba baracuss · 26-10-2008, 12:34 AM

Scary stuff, glad it seems to be turning out OK.

Have you thought about taking action against the incompetent fvck who palmed you off?

If not for your own sake then for anyone else this idiot may mis-diagnose in the future?

Yes have to admit i had wondered about that - i do feel if i hadnt been turned away for over a week before someone acted then this would never have got anywhere near as bad!

Will be at the muscle mania show 2moro - carrying my little black box - with my vac pump in it! LOL - I just hope its a noisy venue cos the slurping noises can be a little off putting!!

MissBC · 26-10-2008, 01:13 AM

hahaha go stand right infront of little luke and then drop your pants, make sure someone has a camera to take a pic of his face when he sees it hahahaha x
