Viral Infection

[tinkerbell23]

Unfortunately after an op
Then a post op bleed... on day 8

I now have a viral infection.

Could i have done anything to avoid this? Im feeling lousy but im worried about being off sick due to the time of year...

Im really anxious about it x

I doubt you could have done anything differently Tinks and no good will come of you beating yourself up about it - try to get over it the best you can following advice you'll have been given no doubt.

Anxiety will NOT help. Anxiety will make things worse and can manifest itself physically, which in turn will affect your mental health, which will impact upon your physical health...and so the vicious cycles continues.

It happens....thought to be due to secondary infection, but this has recently been disputed.

Who said?

\\\Could i have done anything to avoid this?\\

Do you mean the post op bleed or the alleged viral infection?

The answer to the bleed is probably No and the answer to your viral problem is YES, if you had remained in a sterile tent for 2 weeks....not very practical though ;-)

Thank you for answering!

My GP diagnosed a viral infection....

I just wondered if i could have avoided the viral infection... i stayed in mostly for the first two weeks but was out now & again thereafter.... worried about being off sick thats all.

Thank you all xx
