I had a fill on March 10th, My Dr. gave me a shot to numb me and then he gave me the fill so two shots really. Anyway its been 4 weeks since that day and it dont look good. At first it was a small bruse then it just got worse.. its all scabbed up like it was a cut. It doesnt hurt or anything just bugs. Here is a picture of it... it looks like one of my cuts after surgery. I hope its okay... Any advise?

Thanks

Your not being pushy at all Penni... thank you for caring so much. I do hope he removes the port, but the way the nurse sounded as though my infection was no big deal I dont know if I will get anything done.

You know My Dr. is the sweetest man but if he doesnt fix me soon Im moving on, I will look for another Dr. to take me no matter what it takes. I hate all of this mess already. I am trying so hard to keep my hopes high but its hard sometimes.

Come to CALIF I know a good, kind, sweet, caring, GOOD LOOKING doctor that will take appropriate care of you and the nurses know their shit too. LOL!! Hell I will even provide transportation to and from the doc's office and provide you with a place to crash.

Remember they work for YOU!!!

Awwwww You are so sweet! I have tears rolling down. if this doesnt work with my Dr. I will take you up on that offer! Thanks

Just let me know when you wanna come. I will make the initial call for you then you can take it from there. The bed will be made and chocolates on the pillow. LOL!!!

I will leave a light on for you.

See, Id be cautious of your doctors response.

Youve already been through SO much with HIM. Thats why I was wishing you could get a second opinion - or find another surgeon.

((hugs)) to you. You know I love you Trish. I cant imagine being in this situation. The trip, the money, your HEALTH!

What does your husband think?

Trish, how far is Penni's house?

honestly. How long would it take you to get there?

I would have to fly... No way am I driving to CA... its about 1,000 miles to LA from Albuquerque...

He is just as upset as me, He doesnt even know what to say.. but hes here more and hates to see me hurting so bad. I dont know what I would do without him.

so jump on the next Southwest flight and get your butt here. I will even pick you up at the airport. Hey you could fly into Burbank which is lots closer to me than LAX and lots easier to get in and out of.

Trish I'm so sorry you are so upset and at a loss of what to do... I hope you get some answers soon!! I wish I was closer to you and could help in some way!!! You know I love you and your the best friend anyone could ever have ((((HUGS)))) .Please try to smile at least alittle although I can't even imagine how you feel right now....I'm depressed for you !! Call me anytime okay!!! I will always be here with open ears to listen!! (((HUGS))

So $3.00 bucks a gallon for gas to and from Colorado, plus hotel fees... hmmm.

Im weighing the option of the cost of an airline ticket verses gas expenses.

Hey Penni, have I told you lately that I love you?

You are so fantastic for even offering this to Trish. (((((MEGA HUGS)))))

LBT never ceases to amaze me.

Trish, I am being banded Monday, in Mexico. I too will be traveling to get my fills. I will be going from the Farmington NM area. Anytime we could get together to go I would be game...it might help expense wise. I had planned on going to Canon City, CO as well. Let me know how this works out. I will be thinking of you & hoping you get good news!

Hey Kat, Do you drive out that way? or fly? I guess I just have to see what happens tomorrow before I do anything else. btw Good Luck Monday!!!!

Thanks so much for the good wishes! Hope your appointment went well, anxious to hear what you found out, and also how the Dr. handled it. Let us know!!

As for the travel arrangements, we will drive. Canon City is about the same distance from me as ABQ is, 180-190 miles. We would be about your 1/2 way point. I say we, because my SIL and I are doing this on the buddy system!! But if we can coordinate schedules, and you can make it this far, you are welcome! PM me and I'll give you my number, so when the time comes we can check it out!

Kat

Well everyone Im here in CO.. and sure enough I am getting my port taken out. And it is going to leave me with a gapping hole..... Lisa help me please!!!!!!!! Anyway I dont even know what to think right now, I am numb!! I will let you all know how it goes tonight.
