Infection

If my doctor knew that the visiting nurses hasn't called me today to set up the wound care he would be mad, this infection could spread with out proper care. I am upset because I found another infected area. UGH I popped it and cleaned it out really hoping it doesn't get worse. I am still taking my infection meds so hopefully it will all be okay. However Sulfer is disgusting! LOL

 

As far as everything else in life, it is good. I went to the support meeting tonight with the bariatric group. It is always nice to hear positive stories and those who are struggling and what they are going through and offer support.

 

Overall I am feeling really good, believe it or not. The infection is more a bump in the road rather than a huge issue right now. If I need another surgery, well that will be more of an issue wouldn't it.

 

Trying to remain positive. The weight is still coming off so that is good. Being on solids with no restriction has been a challenge.

WOW my doctor thinks I have an infection too. I can't bend over without pain, like getting in and out of the car. OUCH! I hope your's clears up soon too. I have some heavy duty meds too for 10 days, then they might consider taking my port out. I really don't want to gain all the weight back, but we did prove we can ear healthy didn't we?? I wish I could go to a support

meeting, but I work evenings, and have used all my vacation up for the year. Yes, trying to remain positive, as well. Have a good one.

missjoany I hope that they don't have to remove the port, that will be my next thing. Just had the surgery November 2, 2010.

I have proved before I can eat healthy and exercise, but it never worked before, now with the band I am loosing, blessing of all blessings. I don't even have a fill yet and I am thrilled. I don't want to have to go back under the knife.
