When my mother had major surgery on April 8th 2008, we knew that some complications could happen, but we were not prepared when they happened. She went into surgery to have a lump removed from her ovary and also had a hysterically intact 47-year-old. My Mom is also diabetic so there was some concern there but this surgery had to be done as the mass kept growing and was painful.
When someone has a mass on their ovary and has a hand, doctors usually go in vaginally if the mass is small. My Mom didn’t say it was a mass option because it was big. Her doctor first thought the cantaloupe was very large, but when it was removed it was much larger. He had a large incision in his stomach that the doctor could remove. My mother is a woman plus size than cutting into her meant deeper and through the fat cells. His surgery went well and he was discharged home five days after surgery. She was angry for a long time, looking at the wound in his stomach, which began to discolor the house two days later.
My mother went to the doctor a week later and they took out the staples. Stuff started oozing out and the wound in his stomach opened. This will really scare her and the whole family. We had never heard of this being done before. The doctor told us that this is common. We didn’t feel any better, but we certainly knew that this game was not a rare event. The wound was the length of your index finger. The doctor prescribed that the wound should be changed once a day. He said he would try to get the nurse out of the house, but in the meantime you would like to be changed by family members.
My Mom Had A Hard Time keeping calm during the change wound up and I don’t blame her. . If I had a big creepy hole in my stomach, I would break too. Then I saw the wound open for the first time, and I felt it sitting warm. However, I didn’t tell my trouble because I didn’t want to upset my mom any further. But when my mom’s open wound got to me, it really did. As time went on, I got a little more used to it. Cleaning was something that had to be done and I decided to do it regularly and do the right job.
Two days after I went to my doctor, the nurse came home. His job was to show me how to properly clean a wound so I could do it myself. He said that he would come once a week to measure the wound and see what it was doing. The nurse also told us that my mother is diabetic and the wound takes longer to heal. The doctor did not re-treat the wound; The skin fills in the hole over time until it is closed. It’s only been a month since my mom had surgery and the wound is still a little creepy (the best word I can use), it’s getting better slowly but surely.
If you find yourself in this same situation, first take a breath. This situation is stressful both for the person who has the wound and for you, the one who changes. If the person who had surgery is insured, the cost of the insurance” should cover the cost of the home nurse once they come. eight and supplies .The nurse would show you what to do without us, the nurse would not come until we were changed in ours, so this article will help you prepare. These parts are exactly how the nurse showed me.
To change the wound, first wash your hands . Have the person lie down on a bed or other flat surface. If you have a container, put it on and place it on a clean towel. Now get all your stuff ready and lined up.
Forces are used for this type of wound;
Book WEB
The fabric is square in shape and does not need to be cut
Abdominal pads
Long medical q-tips that only have a pumpkin at one end
Medical adhesive tape that can be used on the skin
Scissors
Saline bottle (sterile water)
A plastic bag of medical gloves
Without a pad
A bag to put the garbage in
If the second hand is washed
When everything is set, use clean hands and at the same time rub your hands until dry. Then put on your gloves. Take one of the TELA squares and pour the salt into it, squeezing the excess into a trash bag. Now take a q-tip and stick it inside the rim of the glasses. Hold the glasses and q-tip on top, clean along the edge of the wound and around all the holes that are inside the wound. If there is a strong smell, this means that he is ill, and the person must go to the doctor.
Change your gloves, wash your hands, and put on new gloves. Now use alcohol to clean your scissors. Cut off a section of rolled fabric (you will have to decide how much you need depending on the size of the wound). Fold in half the sage and soak in the salt, squeeze out any excess in a garbage bag. If you get saline on your skin, wipe it off immediately, because if left alone, it will irritate and turn the skin into . that rose Slowly make long ways into the wound, back and forth until there is no cloth left. Try not to have the skin touch the sides as much as possible. Take more of the WEB and four of the fold. He laid it on the wound. This will help the wound to hold the dressing inside. Now take two abdominal pads (more or less depending on the size of the wound) and place them so that they cover the entire wound area.
Now it’s time to use the tape. Take off your gloves and use hand sanitizer. You don’t need to use another pair of gloves because the tape will stick to your gloves, making it difficult to tear and apply. Tape all the colored sides and tear with your fingers (if you’re holding the tape right, you don’t need to cut it with scissors). Make sure it’s extra safe; use the tape between the two. The tape will be partially touching the color, partially touching the skin. Make sure it touches the skin so it doesn’t start to come off. If you don’t use the machine enough, the color can fade (and yes, this has happened to us once or twice).
But it is not perfect. The biggest thing that bothers you is looking at the hole in your lover’s stomach. It’s hard to see a person you care about with someone like that and in pain. Someone I talked to about the wound said to me, “It’s good that you can do it.” I wrote back what I have to do. No option. I would do anything for my loved ones, and that was just part of the process. If I can, you can too.
