If anyone is interested, I would love to have a surgery buddy. I'd really like to have a friend waiting for me on the other side of this, with some support and encouragement.

If anyone is interested, please, get in touch!

Carol, so sorry you had a rough time. At least you are in the right place to control your pain. Make sure they allow for probiotics after you finish your antibiotics. Best of luck and keep in touch. I was there for 11 days.... It sucked but I thought of it as a vacation from my four kids and husband. By the time I went home I really missed them and they missed me!!!

@@Heavy to Healthy Thank you so much for writing and letting me know I wasn't alone on this journey. I am still not quite out of the woods, still have this infection, but am on antibiotics, wound is packed, that comes out in the AM, and we wait to see if it will close on it's own.

I know much of my nausea is being brought on by the antibiotics and still, so many pills I have to take. I just want a little relief...so I can get my nourishment in. I'm getting my Water in ok

But the antibiotic gave me nausea and diarrhea, and I'm not sure why but the hospital didn't give me my Zyrtec for a week, so I get out into the world today and it's full of pollen and I'm choking every time I lay down. Blowing my nose, miserable.... I feel like a big old mess. LOL

I could use some prayers and good thoughts. SO I thank all of you have been so kind, and sweet, and positive. It's made a difference.

I just keep praying to wake up for another day.

@carolm1965 oh honey I am so sorry you have had all these problems! You are definitely in my thoughts and prayers!

Carol, are you home yet??
