Hi
This is Lawrie writing - yes two problems have been solved - firstly my bowels have started working properly for the first time and the wireless network in the hospital is back on!
Health Warning - Do not read the following paragraph if you are eating!
Yesterday I had a CT scan that showed no blockage in my bowels - just a delayed restart. I also had a PIC inserted into my arm which is a small tube that follows a main artery up my arm and into my chest. So overnight they fed me liquid food through the tube - the most expensive meal I have had!! This may have kickstarted my bowel which performed regularly through the night at 11, 1, 3 and 6 am. I slept in between - which is good - I hadn't the previous night.
So today I am feeling much better - I had rice crispies and tea for breakfast and I have lunch and dinner ordered. So on the bowel front all is going well!
However, I have another complication - my incision has an infection and it has swollen up and is painful. This morning I had a puss bag fitted to it to drain it off (sometimes it goes miaow!). I am on antibiotics and the doctor is not at all worried about this. This makes it a bit painful to move about - but I much prefer this than all the bowel wind/cramps that I have had.
It is lunchtime now so I plan to post another blog later.
