Thank you Animad...I did go and I di ask her not to clean the wound. However the dressing was stuck to my skin with gunk.....so when she removed the stitches and staples she had to scrape a little of it away.
She warned me that the wound may 'give way' as it is still infected and moist.
I was meant to make another appointment to see her on monday for a check up and a change of dressing but couldnt bring myself to do that just incase i do anything to the arm in the mean time.
But as it stands, she thinks everything is out. I know Ill get a bollocking from my doc next time i see him as it will all be on my notes....but then he does know what my 'rules' are regarding infections..
I have got the antibiotics, but im sorry..i wont beable to take them
Thanks for your help xxx
