So I saw the consultant. Apparently the original sack of fluid was really huge and so its response to treatment is not easily predictable. Whereas when the fluid was in the sack between my buttock muscle, it was contained by pressure and no more fluid was pumping in, the release of the fluid during the original operation has caused it to flow unabated. I need to keep flushing the fluid out of the wound - not in a once a week sort of way but by keeping the wound open so it does not build up. I also need another operation under general anesthetic.
The saga continues and I remain off my bike and with a plastic bag attached to my side and with the prospect of more hospital time ahead.
I will be at the Rollas tomorrow if anyone is sufficiently curious to want a gander at the bag. [/joke]
