Just back from a nice week up in Keswick, not the best break weve ever had, but nice to escape anyway....apart from...
Acyst in my chest decided to become infected and grow, and then burst....some what spoilt the holiday being under doctor / hospital.
I currently have a hole, about an inch diameter in my chest, weeping rather nasty gunk, and im on horse strength antibiotics.

yup, agony at times, others it settles to a 'comfortable' level.
not fun :'(
-
That looks so sore and I hope you get better soon :y
-
Thats the most impressive zit Ive ever seen :o :o
The redness around it would suggest a nasty painful infection. Presumably you are taking some serious antibiotics?
-
Never mind the antibiotics Jimbob, just don't forget to FEED IT! If the bugger gets loose & looks for it's own scran you'll make the 10 o' clock news mate! :D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

That is the dose I had, when I had blood poisoning.
In addition, I was taking metronidazole with it.
I was not a well bunny.
Really wish you a quick recovery mate, that looks nasty :-[
-
thanks...
not much change today....

Worry not, Jimbob, its only pain, it will go away ;D
(Thats what I kept telling myself yesterday as I was laying on the floor trying to ease my back :-[)
-
Off to my local doctors today for some advice on it.

A very sound move Jb - hope you get some sensible advice :y :y

Why do I keep hearing "feed me, feed me seymour........" in my head???
Thats most impressive........reminds me of a tetse fly bite I got in Morocco several years back, but a lot worse!!
-
Im on another weeks worth of horse strength antibiotics..
At the doctors most days for the wound to be cleaned and dressed.
It is still leaking 'cyst gunk'....Lovely :'(
not had the opportunity for another photo yet, but will soon :y
-
Shall I bring my Macro lens to the lakes for weekend updates then? :D

Had to have a shave today so the dressings stick properly, so took the opportunity for another shot.
I definately think its looking better :D

That does appear to be much improved Jb :y :y
-
its got that 'im healing' itch to it as well now.
heres hoping this wont be as drawn out as I feared :y
-
Jeez!!!!!
Looks like there is two little maggots in there in your pic......I know there is'nt, but sure looks like!!
-
Well still being dressed at the doctors every few days.
Trouble is, I now have a superfluous thrid nipple :-[
It is over granulating, which means it has produced more cells than it needs, and is protruding now rather than being a hole..
They have painted it with some nitrogen stuff, which burns like hell.
Im in a lot of pain with it today :'( :'( :'(

You may be on the home straight at last Jb. :y :y
-
Looks just like some of the bullet wounds I saw years ago..............after the slug was removed, it looked like that after the dressing was removed to let air in the wound to aid healing.......
You sure you haven't p*ssed somebody off? LOL!
-
.....Trouble is, I now have a superfluous third nipple.....
;) "Scaramanga; the Man with the Golden Miggy" :P
-
I'll do you a nice HOT curry to rub in it then we'll weld it up.
My belly button looked a bit like that post hernia op in feb. :D It'll heal up mate, Guy.
-
Bring it round at the w/e, Ill get the vacuum pump set up and you can empty it out. ;D
-
Had it dressed with some different stuff today, which doesnt hurt.
Back again tomorrow to see how its doing.
still weeping a lot of gunk, so we are not winning.
Looks like its going to be surgery to cut the bugger out. :'(
I am well and truely fed up. Ive a car I want to work on, but cannot, everything is a chore, cant even have a decent shower cos of my dressings...fed up to the back teeth.

;) Supportive cyber-hugs beings sent over the hill to you, James. :y
Sometimes the healing is delayed and takes that (worryingly) bit longer to kick-in....here`s hoping you will soon be back on top-form without the need for surgery. :y
-
Thanks Debs, think its gone / going too long for that now.
Still weeping cyst gunk, have a 3rd nipple etc
even if it does heal, it could flare up again in the future
After surgically removing that risk is removed, so for the best.
Its basically local anaesthetic, small op to remove, sew me back up, then heal a normal wound.
Im not very good with medical stuff though...1st time I gave blood they thought the blood pressure machine was broken it read so high :'(

Sad news Jb but sometimes surgery (and I'm certainly not a fan) is the only realistic solution.
If that's the route chosen, I hope it goes well. :y :y
-
Still dont know on the surgury....but think it will be happening middle of August
Had to change the dressing today so here is the superfluous 3rd nipple...

Only just realised what this thread was actually about Jimbob (Back from Keswick doesn't really tell it). You must have been really ill with that bugger, makes me cringe just looking at it. Hope you are better soon mate, take care.
-
That's a great improvement all the same Jb 8-) :y :y
Go for the surgery - it'll improve the appearance and eradicate the likelihood of further infection. :y
-
Aye Cheers, taken some coming too, but I think it needs to go.
The reality is they could have probably removed the cyst with just a pair of tweezers a few weeks ago ;D
It has really knocked the stuffing out of me, any strenuous activity puts pressure through it, hampered me a lot.
-
..., any strenuous activity ..
you should be OK then Jim ::) ::) ::) ;D :y :y
-
redressed today....
the 3rd nipple has gone! the mental nitrate stuff, and then the cream have done the job.
It looks like the weeping may have stopped,
Still a tiny hole there
Dressed with silver dressing now.
Got to make an appointment with the Doc now to discuss surgery.
-
Get it hacked out.....wont take long with an apple corer
-
......It looks like the weeping may have stopped,....
;) Don`t take-on so! :P
-
Splendid news Jb :y
-
Got a set of diamond core drills here if you fancy a bit of DIY. ;D ;D

Puts a nice 107mm hole through double brick so it should be up to the job.
-
Still at the docs 3 times a week,
cyst still weeping
Got booked in today for the 11th August for surgery to remove it :'(
-
let DTM cut it off and wheel that mig welder out, sure that should do the job :y

surgery to remove it
Best solution Jb - although I'm certainly no fan of surgery. :( :y
-
yeah, I know its for the best
Doc went through it, 1.5 - 2 inch scar, all under local. he thought it was for the best. Diazepam to calm me down for it.
-
I've had 3 of those over the years. All on my back, so I haven't seen them, so I can't say if they were as bad as yours. Anyway, I haven't looked at your pictures - I'm far too sensitive to appreciate blood and gore. :)
The good news is that the surgery is trivial - I've had two of them removed, both by local GPs. Takes five minutes, doesn't hurt, heals quite quickly.
My GP put me on the minor surgery waiting list for the last one, but that was well over a year ago, so he must have forgotten. I had, until I just looked at this thread. But it seems to have got better all on its own, so perhaps I won't bother. :) :) :)

Craft knife and a couple of staples............no probs!!
seriously, mate..........best of luck, got a few stitches myself all over, doesnt hurt until you laugh for a bit!! :y
-
All done, took about 1/2 an hour.
Feeling a bit out of it now, and sore now the anestehic has worn off.
got a fair few stiches, cyst was quite big.
gotta take it very easy for a week to 10 days, then be careful for a month after the stiches come out.
Least it should be over now.
Off for a lie down.

Did you ask for it in a bottle of preserve, you could have brought to Newent and shown everyone.
-
It was in a bottle, but didnt ask to keep it, was a bit on the manky side.
-
plus.....when it was dressing change time at the lakes....everyone mysteriously ran away to do something else ;D ;D ;D

:( The Oubliette is no more! :(
After a short life lived to the full (well, overfull actually! ;D) it has been cast out to drift through eternity in a sea of alcohol! :-?
Hang on!....that's not a bad deal when you think about it! ;D ;D
Glad you got it sorted Jimbob & hope you don't get some 'orrible flesh eating disease or creeping alopecia or summat in the wound before it heals ::) ;D ;D ;D ;) :y

Well, took about 1/2 an hour to sort...
Injected 5 times with anaesthic
checked it was working "can you feel that", "just", "good, you would be on the ceiling otherwise"
sliced, removed and put in a jar, large manky lump.
stitched up and sent home.
Hurt at the time, wasnt too bad yesterday, quite sore again today as the brusing is developing.

Just a few observations Jimbob ::)
1. I prefered it how it was, much more colourful & 'fluid' lol. ;D
2. It now looks like a piece of Brisket! :o
3. Nice colour thread, blue is my fave colour :y
Get well soon mate :y ;)

Back at the docs yesterday
Had my stitches out, not the most pleasant experience.
Back to very careful again, nice to not have the stitches pulling and itching any more though.
Gotta keep a careful eye out for infection for the next few days and get anti-bi's if neccessary.
But the good news was the biospy results were back, and it was nothing more serious than an infected abcess.
Currently dressed with iodine dressings, and back on Tuesday for another prod.

If you can get your hands on some pure iodine add a few drops to your shower gel for an excellent cleaning and debraiding soap :y

handy tip,
this is iodine impregnated sheets you cut to size and place over the wound. so not bottles of the stuff

No, you soak the iodine into a Scotch pad, and give it a good rub :D

Healing nicely now, and enjoying having no dressing on it for the 1st time in 3 months!
Had the pathologist report, and apparently it was a sinus track, with granuloma.
Starting on some light stuff again - washed my new car for the 1st time last night :D
Gonna take some time till its healed enough for anything much, but nice to make a start at last :D :D :D

Yep. :y Was the second part of the op I was waiting on. Will take a month or two before I'm back to full fitness but I can manage that now that I'm drug, tube and daily dressing free :y :y

:P In view of the thorough and ongoing pictorial documentation of your affliction; all I can say, is that it`s clearly for the best that it wasn`t Haemorrhoids you were suffering from! ;D

Jimbob, i'm pleased too see that both Yourself & Zulu are bearing up well & healing ok :y
