I am starting this blog while I am still in hospital. I will be released in nine days and I wanted to make sure that some of the background information got in here before I load the pictures that is not for the faint of heart. I am writing in english because swedes are more likely to be able to read english then the rest of the world are to read swedish.
It is true. my doctor said several times that she wanted me to go in to hospital so we could get rid of the moss green wound I had on my left leg and that one started on my uncles funeral in december 2011.
The reason I refused those times was that when I asked what would happen she told me that either they would cut away the infected tissue or pour hydrogen peroxide on the wound and let it corrode away the green and get a clean wound.
I asked her every time if I would be put to sleep while they did that and the answer was always No, it does´nt hurt that bad so you will at most get a local anesthesia and go home the same day.
I am extremly fearful of acids, hospitals, operations and all of that so I said no. Every time I said no.
Who can blame me really? I was scared out of my mind
So for more then 2 years I was redressing the wound and taking over the counter painmeds.
I was getting more and more tired, I did not have the energy to make real food, go shopping, cleaning my apartment, walking to my beloved jewelry class... I blamed it on the weather, my weight, everything... I did not know what I know now but I was getting really really sick...
