Tuesday 5th
The stitches lasted until Sunday, then it began the routine of squeaking, then whistling and then gurgling.
I went to hospital this morning and met the latest on call doctor. It looked intact to him, but I know the script by now and give it another few days and I will probably have a positive valsalva test and water coming down my nose.
Then there'll be another phone call and another hospital visit.
He said he'd spoken to my consultant and ' he has a plan'. I've had a dental impression done for a plate to cover the area. It was incredibly painful ( 2 moulds tried to get the sizing correct, then the impression itself) as the mould was pushed into a large area that is stitched.
There's also more surgery in the offing( I think round 3 is inevitable now as it has worsened since this morning)
I also saw Doctor K ( H*****) who restitched it last Thursday. I was in the waiting room and he saw me and J so stopped for a chat, asking if I was there for a routine appointment ( oh, how I wish!) so I explained what was happening.
The doctor who took the impression was the one who restitched it the first time and was present during my first surgery.
I'm all too familiar with most of the team now, and them with me.
Oh, and its our wedding anniversary today... we forgot until we were leaving the hospital grounds!!
