Poking my head in to leave some keep getting better hugs and smoochies…. Very glad to read that the dreaded wound vac is finally gone. Keep fighting, Sassy. I think you’re winning. ❀️ When do you start chemo?

As soon as the wounds close. I'm going to try and meet with them Friday. As much as I don't miss the wound VAC I think I am healing slower without it. I think assaulting it every day with removing the bandaging, showering and rinsing it out, repacking it, then re-bandaging it again is slowing down the healing. I think it's a lot.
I really don't want it back. But at the same time I don't want it to keep me from being able to start chemo as soon as possible. It's already been a month since my surgery.

You know I'm glad and impressed by your advocacy for yourself with your providers. That takes courage and effort and work (it shouldn't, but...).

Also, just here wishing you the best!!!

I really wish it didn't. I really wish that they truly did want what is best for the patient.

Someone from the hospital called today to talk to me about a complaint I made regarding my Surgeon. Nice enough guy. I wanted him. He's one of the best around. But damn his bedside manner just sucked ass and when one of the residents kept going above and beyond for me, he belittled him in front of me for not taking his advice because he's the low man on the totem pole.
I wrote a letter to the hospital both with the complaint but also praising the resident for his care and concern.
I hope he doesn't lose his compassion as he climbs the Doctor ladder.

Don't over do it and be careful. No one wants you to end up in hospital, hurting again.

Damned if you do and damned if you don’t. I can understand why you’re impatient. I don’t suppose there are any foods/vitamins/topical creams that promote wound closure??
Has it been a month already, crazy.. Are they doing any tests or scans to see what the state of affairs is in your belly?

I know someone like that too. Absolute ace at his job but a terrible disaster when it comes to simply talking to people or showing some empathy. Not sure he can even muster any empathy.

Wow.

I've always thought you were a good person and I've always liked. Reading this highlights why and shows me that you are even more amazing that I realized.

Thank you for sticking up for others. Thank you for trying to improve the world. Just Wow.

Also, I agree, I hope the resident keeps that compassion.

I've talked to a Nutritionist a couple times and she is calling back on Friday. We've had to spend so much time trying to figure out my diabetes crap that she wanted to wait until we got that under control. Now that I think we've found some good numbers for my diabetes, she will give me some more ideas for food options. But my diabetes nurse wants me to keep reminding her that I am basically a bariatric patient now, so they need to treat me like one. Smaller food options but still needing the nutrients. I also plan to talk to her about vitamins and supplements because when I went home, they basically just told me to take my regular multi vitamin.
As far as scans. I haven't had anything done. I know I will when we start chemo.
