Hernia and SS

16/1/14

The Feripox has (in my belief) improved the bouncing vision at times enabling me to have half days where my balance and my attention have shown temporary improvements, interestingly i am finding that the tremors can be stopped with my attention. It was recently discovered I had a hernia and so I had an operation to correct this, the operation has caused discomfort as well as a set back in the progress of the Feriprox. I am in pain and very tired. I believe the codydramol and ibuprofen are contributing to the tiredness which the Feriprox itself is giving. My tinnitus seems to have gotten worse since the operation on the hernia and due to the stitches, I am forced to walk bent over. I will be shown how to change my dressing tomorrow as when I did this today for the first time, I found a plastic cover over the wound and am unsure as to what to do with it. My greatest concern is infection and so I wish to know the best ways to prevent this by discussing this with the nurse tomorrow.

The nurse redressed it and said that I should leave it in its sterile environment and not change it, she would take it off in 7 days. my BP was great too.
