I had forgotten what a normal abdomen with a navel looked like! I had looked at that cavity for 11 months. I am so excited :v_happy:

Geez Chris I can't believe you are going through this after last time :grr: absolutely disgusting! Don't give them a break, they can't be trusted, go with our gut. As Jezza said we wouldn't leave a bandage on for that long at home. :hugs:

It is scary Jezza. My dressings were changed every second day last year so I knew it was wrong.I had nurses visit e at home every two days after discharge. I was prepared to do battle if my "nice" approach didn't work. I queried the time frame on Sat but the nurse insisted that's what the registrar requested.
Otherwise, I am feeling good and moving well. Just want a shower! Lol taking panadol for discomfort rather than pain :)
