This is the bandage that the nurse installed on Friday.

It’s looking rather grubby and tattered by now but I was told I could remove it on Tuesday (tomorrow) so I will not have to put up with it for much longer.

It has taken rather a battering from me pulling on a kitchen glove over it to allow me to wash and do the household chores.

I’m not too sure what I will find when I do take the bandage off but on Friday the wound seemed to be healing nicely and, all being well, that process will have continued.

I don’t know whether there will be any scarring but, to be honest, I’m not bothered about that. I’m not intending to enter any beauty contests!
