      Been to see the nurse, she was happy with how we had cleaned the wound up. I took the honey dressing I'd been sent home from hospital with and she agreed that would be the best thing to put on right now! So this stays on now until Monday! However has sent us home with the kit of neede over the weekend to redress if required! Fingers crossed she doesn't think there's need for antibiotics!!!

    Didn't have the problem with my scar.I had my staples out 8 days after and i didn't want to look at it afterwards.When i did i was really amazed at how healed it looked just within that time.Your scar does seem infected.I have had trouble sleeping.I didn't want hrt because i felt so well.I gave in at about 6 weeks as i was watching the clock most hrs.Was hiven patches but they didn't stick very well.I have now been given 3 months supply of hrt tablets and a weeks supply of sleeping tablets.They are very mild but i do sleep better but still wake up a couple of times.Don't seem to be getting the hot flushes at night but i am not sure if it is because of the hrt working or because the sleeping pills have worked.It will be interesting when i finish the sleeping pills.The problem then is i am meant to be going back to work next Mon.Good luck with your scar.
