Wound Woman

Wound Woman Hi I'm Stacy aka Wound Woman. I suffer with venous ulcers on both legs. I've named them Larry and Lenny! Lymphedema, lipodema, vascular disease with many more.

This is my plan for today!

Snack on cream cracks and watch some of my favourite shows.
I absolutely love Murder She Wrote and Diagnosis Murder, they contain 2 people who I've loved since a kid.
The cream crackers are because it's day 4 of nausea again and I need to help settle my tummy. Having my pain at a '10' means I get these symptoms daily.

HOLY FRICKING SH*T BALLS!!! 😱😱

I can not express the joy, happiness, excitement, and hopefulness I currently have over how quickly Larry the left leg is healing.... Actually healing after 4 very long and draining year's.

I genuinely feel it will heal totally because of the negative wound therapy (pico machine) and Promogran/collagen dressing I've recently been having.
It's like it has woken the wound bed up. I've also been working really hard on upping my protein intake because protein is 🔑 for wounds and healing.
I love taking pictures as it reminds me exactly how far I've come. As you can see, the line of where new skin has just appeared in 3 WEEKS!
I am over the moon 💜

Starting 2026 on a high!

2 day's in a row I've socialised, it's like I'm almost normal 🤣
Yesterday I met up with my favourite nurse, or should I say ex nurse. She no longer works in clinic, I'm still not happy I won't get to see her weekly. But we caught up over coffee and will plan another catch up soon.
Today I met up with my friend and ex boss, we went looking for deer 🦌 and had a lovely lunch.
I'm home in my pj's, snuggled with the dog and rewatching Stranger Thing's from the beginning before watching the last season.

The pain I have now is worth it.

2025! It broke me, I felt a huge shift physically and mentally. Honestly after that pain management appointment, I did think "What is the point". I basically retired from working at 39 year's old.
I pleaded for treatment that was being withheld because I wasn't in compression. That is because my pain levels can't tolerate the yellow line stocking most day's, stuff having a compression wrap/stocking or bandage on. But because I refused to give up I got that treatment and guess what... It's working.

2026 I'm going to gently shuffle into it and my main goal is to focus on healing, or getting the pain and wounds to a place where it's more tolerable. I will be able to use my energy/spoons on thing's that are important to me.

So fck you 2025 🖕 thanks for the lessons but jeez I am knackered 🤣
I'll be enjoying tonight with my favourite men (husband and Dog) enjoying a few drinks and playing games in my comfy clothes. I'll scoff cheese - protein for the wounds 😂 and spend tomorrow sore and on bedrest but I know I'll have a laugh.

I hope however you're spending tonight it's a safe, content evening.
Happy New Year everyone ✨️ 💜

I've not had a nausea type day in weeks.
I'd like to say it's from over eating but no, instead it's symptoms.
I'll spend the day attempting not to move and sipping water, praying that when I take my medication it stays down. I wanted to do thing's today 🤦‍♀️

Skin regrowth 🎉🙌

It seems my skin is on a growth spurt! I'm touching all the wood it continues. I don't care if it leaves me with different colours of skin or dents as long as it heals.

This is on Lenny the right leg and is my inner ankle wound. I've noticed I'm able to tolerate lying on my left side and have more of my right leg on the bed. You can see the islands of skin that have formed too.
I take regular photo's to compare to each other. My end goal.... Have the original operation wound in the center of my shin.

I have my very own Santa Paws 😍🐾
Henry enjoys dressing up for Christmas Day. Look at how happy he is with a cardboard box and new babies to play with.
My leg's are throbbing and swollen, my right foot is having some sort of flare up/strained but I'm borrowing spoons to be as present as I can be.

I hope everyone has their perfect day. Sending lot's of love ❤️ 🎅🎄🎁🎊

Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🎁

I told my body that I'd very much like a little lie in, or at least a peaceful night.
I got to 5am so that's a present I guess.

Seeing as we're asking for a miracle, I'll also add a cleaner, chef, wiggle my toes, get low like I used to, sleep in a normal position, not have any wounds and end medical gaslighting.

All totally normal things to want right? 😂🤣

Merry Christmas to me 🎄🎁

On Larry the left leg, this started as 2 little islands of skin. They grew into one and now it's connecting to the outside "normal" skin 🎊
It might not seem like a big deal, but 4 years I've had wounds on my left leg and it's the first real sign of healing I've seen.
Between the Pico machine (negative wound therapy) and now collagen dressings, it seems to have kick started skin renewal.

I've also been working hard on upping my protein intake, as protein is key for wound healing. I really struggle to eat, especially on severe pain day's. I can just about sip water.
It's a small step, but it's made me really happy. Larry has finally given me a gift 🤣

**The yellow gel type substance is left over collagen that is yet to be absorbed in the wound
