Furious and back to ER I go!

Put it under your tongue to allow it to dissolve. It absorbs better.

Update:

I was cut open and drained lots of that abscess.... Took a while to get everything out and it was so unpleasant stinky and painful at times even though they numbed me. Staying overnight for observation. I am already slightly relieved. Hopefully it will be better from now on!

Thanks all for prayers and support!

Prayers for a quick recovery :)

Hopefully they are giving you abx AND fluids via iv as well whilst you are staying overnight. Fluids are very important as well. Just take ALL your medicine as directed and you should recover nicely. May need a few extra days off work though. Keep up the good work. And yes I always get copies of all my own labs, test results and scans for myself. Good thing you did too. Good luck!

Ok.. I gotta vent... I am so furious right now!

I had my surgery at a hospital an hour away because this surgeon is awesome. On Sunday when I wasn't feeling well we decided to go to ER by our house...that's where I found out I have seroma after a cat scan.

I was still feeling very crappy since then went to my surgeon, they obtained a copy of cat scan report from the ER and guess what... No seroma! But I have a huge Abcess!OMG! Really!

So now we are on the way to the hospital where I had surgery to the ER to have my surgeon open me up and drain the Abcess after which I will start antibiotics.

Also going to get Doppler on my leg to make sure I am not forming a blood clot...

Wow really really struggling right now but now they all can see I am not crazy, I am miserable for a reason!

Please pray for me!

Sending you prayers. Hang in there. Better days ahead.

I ended up being in hospital for 4 days... Have been home for few days now and went back to work today. It was a tough day, I got pretty tired but hoping I will keep getting better. Right now just taking care of my wound from the Abcess with packing everyday, my dr thinks it will probably take about a month to heal up.

Thank you everyone for all your prayers, thoughts and support... I can finally say I am doing better! I am back at work, although my energy is not back yet and I get tired fast but I am not crying anymore and I am not nauseous anymore. Still have to take care of my wound everyday and hoping it will heal without getting infected but so far so good. Wouldn't have done it without all of you and your support! There were times I really didn't believe it will get better. I am 4 weeks post op tomorrow and starting to see some of my clothes getting bigger which is really nice!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
