I did not sign up for this!…. (bit of humour!)

Im 12 days post op and I think I have bed sores… on my heels! 😆

Im struggling to get comfy in bed so constantly sleeping on my back. I noticed I had a sore heel the other day and its now on the other heel too! BED SORES!

Cant bloody believe it! had to share this with you all for a giggle!

EEew u stinker. Have u wee wee’d the bed too hehe.

Ur funny!! Xx

Nope! haha! Im fully in control of my body functions thank god!

Its so strange, my heels sting! like they’ve rubbed in my shoes all day! x

Im with u kid! I also have ankle ache because iv been curling my ankles so im comfy and dont slip down the bed and thats killing too! Last night I lied flat for a few hours swelling isnt going anywhere anyway so I thought why the hell not! Put some socks on tonight I am doing x x x

Ill be smearing body butter on them then wearing some socks!

If theres a fire and I have to be rescued tonight the firemen will piss themselves when they see me in nothing but my macom and socks! hahaha! the image of glamour! x

Just had quite a scare… I had a bath to soak off the steri strips, I had to get out quickly coz I was a fraction from passing out! I dunno what happened! Scared the bejesus out of me! x

Hi hun,

you need to make sure you change the position your heels are in regular other wise your skin will break down and you will be left with bed sores there!! I had the exact same, my heels became tender from the position I was sleeping in so I just made sure I change the position of my feet regular so all the pressure wasnt on one area….as a nurse Iv seen 1st hand how fast they can develop. Hope your feeling better after your bath incident xx

Ahh thank you, I’ll take better care of myself and change positions xx

ics3, you should see what I’ve been laughing imagining the scene with rescuers seeing you with macom and socks 😆 😆

lcs3, I just thought are you putting your feet up in the day too? This might add to the pressure if so…..??xxxx

Im in work today so my fair share of walking around.

Its a very funny sight.. socks and macom! x

Hey hun!

Roll a towel up, and place it behind your ankles so your feet can be slightly elevated- keeping your heels away from the bed!! And keep creaming them too!

xx

Hey girls! Just some advice really, Im a student nurse and have to deal with heel sores everyday..!!

Wouldnt really recommend putting moisturiser on your heels, it makes the skin a lot softer and more prone to breaking down! As pinkbutterfly said, best bet is to roll a towel up and put a soft blanket over it to keep your feet off of the bed xx

Okee dokes, Ill try that one tonight. Thank you!

Hospital tricks! 😉

xx

ics3, hope you didn’t mind me sending you a FR

Ill add you tania x

Just reading that post about you being found in just your Macom and socks Ics3, so funny.. that will be me in 9 1/2 days, not that I’m counting down the hours or anything!!! XX
