After open surgery wound care
I had an emergency appendectomy in July 2017
Lost 12 kilos and all energy after 16 days on drips for everything.
Over last 8 months surface wound has still not healed over ..
bottom inch horizontal cut and just above healed but everything above that skin broken and open up to and just above belly button.
Nurses have tried all dressings and all have said it takes time which is not the answer I would like.
Basically all are lovely people trying to help but no one has a clue.
I have some pictures if any specialist interested. My life is on complete hold as i cannot wear proper trousers or bend down too much and am vulnerable to infections.
