Day 20

Feel swollen and sore. The black patch on the right now has yellow patches in it and is weeping. Under the left side there is still yellow stuff leaking out. It is hard to get off my crop top - it won't come off in the wash, but has to be soaked in bleach. It's like superglue, horrible.

Seem to have a lot of fluid retention in the area which makes it all worse and wonder if the G.P. would let me have fluid tablets for a few days to try and get rid of it.

Had the lemon tea again today and it does seem to help.

Still getting very tired but managed not to have a sleep during the day. 10pm and just going to bed. Hate sleeping on my back but while there are these huge pockets of fluid on my sides, there is no way I can lie on my side.
