Just got in from my follow up visit from my Saturday surgery. Well, Saturday night after the surgery, I got extremely sick and started running a high temperature. This lasted all day yesterday and was no better this morning. Basically to the point that I couldn't move without being in tears from the pain. Of course I should have gone to the emergency room when it first started, but me being the stubborn jackass that I am, I didn't.
Anyway, the wonderful doctor tells me today that the incision is infected. That he probably should have waited another week or so to perform the surgery until I was completely fever free. Well golly Wilbur....now is a great time to figure this out. Now I sit here with an IV running in my leg. It will be there for at least two weeks and I get to give myself antibiotics in it twice daily. A home health nurse will come in twice a week while the IV is in to check the site and change whatever needs to be changed. Damn I love me some doctors.
So I think I may slip some Jack Daniels in my IV. I bet that will clear everything right up. lol
Just so you know, I am on some powerful meds right now and may not be on as much as usual. Just don't forget about me. I promise to catch up with everything when I get back to 100%.
Hugs & Love to you all,
Mary
