Clips, Cleaning and Chemo

Haven't blogged for a couple of days as we have been on a mad spring clean and among all that we moved the pc's which meant switching them all off. Basically it came about because our eldest has just got a new flat so was moving out. We took the chance to have a major spring clean and thanks to both the girls, and their respective boyfriends who have all chipped in we have redesigned our lounge, and we are very pleased with the results.

Had my clips all taken out on Thursday: the op seems to have healed very well so there should be no problems with any infection worries heading for the second chemo cycle next Friday. So although the second cycle got delayed it only seems like we lost a couple of weeks.

Considering the major trauma that is involved in pinning the bone there are little post operative problems other than an underlying ache that is removed by use of the morphine tablets which I have for pain management so as long as I continue to use those its perfectly manageable.

So there's a picture of the operation site after removal of the the clips. Pretty neat work I think?

There are 2 other incisions lower down on the inside of my arm just above the elbow. One of those clips was weeping a little so it has been dressed but again that should be off tomorrow and the dressing was only a precaution anyway. All told I think there were about 40 clips over the four incision sites.

We will get Easter weekend out of the way and then next week we are heading for blood tests on Wednesday and all being well the chemo on Friday.
