So sorry to hear about the nasty infection. I feel for ya, and hope you feel better real soon. The IV thing is a real bummer, but hopefully once it gets into your system you'll feel better much faster instead of taking oral antibiotics. Hang in there, we're thinking about ya! Big Hugs, Lu

UPDATE~ I had a terrible weekend: fever, chills, night sweats, and so much pain! I called the surgeon on Saturday at 9pm (I am sure he loved that, but he DID say to call if I had more trouble) and we scheduled an appointment for today...SO, I went back in and they ended up doing surgery AGAIN!!!
The doc cleaned out all of the puss and junk, ended up putting in a bone graft from a human donor (kind of sicks me out, but I would rather that than a synthetic) and some sort of collagen barrier to keep infection from building in the bone again.
So, round 2 for surgery and it looks like I will be on the IV antibiotics for a few more days...I was hoping to be done tomorrow! Oh, well, I would rather stay on the IV than have such a terribly infected surgery site again! It got so bad that all of my stiches ripped out from the swelling!
OK!! Rant over...thanks for all your love and well-wishes! Kate

Here's hoping that this time did the trick! You've had enough now Kate, your turn is over! Seriously...I hope you are feeling much better now that you have been through all this. Take good care and take it easy until you feel better.
with a happy heart |
