Day 7 – Dressing off

Slept very well. The idea of connecting the night bag to the leg bag first then draining the leg bag to create a vacuum worked well. It empties perfectly with the pipes in a straight line down to the bottom of the bed. Erections were terrible throughout the night and quite painful but am glad things are still working down there.
The district nurse came in the morning to check my wound. It was nice and dry and I was given the ok to have a shower. Was also a relief to get rid of the big surgical pad and changed for a smaller more comfortable one, however it easily moved about and I soon ditched that and used one of the thick woman’s pads I brought before my surgery and stuck this in my boxer shorts. Perineum is now a constant ache.
