Dressing Off

  • May 5, 2007 10:33 pm

Big day today. K’s dressing had to come off. Then it was into the bath to try and soak off the butterfly stitches.

I ended up removing four butterfly stitches from the main puncture wound and, so far, it looks like he’s healing well. Still some claw marks and bruising and he’ll need to be careful of his back for a while longer in case he re-opens the puncture (which is very deep) but, all in all, a lot better than I expected.

His behaviour is calming down a bit too. He’s calmer and less likely to either burst into tears or fly off the handle at the slightest thing.

I’ve not been so lucky today. After two fairly good days, I woke up in a lot of pain this morning and felt pretty weepy all day. Ah well – better out than in.
