going crazy

I had my surgey on Aug 22 and I got an infecrtion, now I have a open wound that will not close. I get it packed twice a day, they are saying around christmas it should be close.I am going crazy dealing with it.. Last week was my sons birthday and the day he died I am having a hard time . anyone have any advice or words of wisdom? has anyone else had to deal with not keeping anything down I had lost 20 pounds since my suregy

I'm sorry to hear about your son's birthday and anniversary of his death. It's understandable to have difficutly dealing with it, especially on top of trying the heal from surgery and infection. Just know that you are not alone.

I too would go crazy taking care of an open wound. Please take care of it. It will soon heal (although not soon enough) and you won't have to keep up with it anymore.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

I am so sorry you are dealing with all this. I can not imagine the pain both emotionally and physically you are in right now. I pray that you find some comfort. You are in my prayers.

Hugs for you pancake. This has to be an awfully hard time for you. Sometimes when I am stuck in despair I think well at this time next year.......then think how far past all of this I will be. Then I start thinking of all the things that will be gone or healed by then and imagine how awesome life will be. If it's something little I think well this time next week. But for this surgery I have given myself a year. I have also had complications, plus I know it will take some time and patience to work out the hormone thing.

Hugs,

I hope you are feeling better. I can only begin to imagine how difficult it must be for you. God bless you.

Sweetsister,
As a person, I give you hugs. As a nurse, I can only think of hyberbaric chamber therapy for wound healing. Don't know if it's an option, but ask your local hospitals if they have one. I've had infections w/wounds that would not close and multiple plastic sugeries to make the hole look better.
Draw near to God is what I suggest. Call friends, family, have anyone near you.

i cant imagine how frustrating this must be. i dont know anything about it to offer you advice. are you diabetic? i'm wondering if thats why its not healing correctly. thats the only thing i can think of.
to you during this difficult time with not feeling well and the anniversary.
