Furious and back to ER I go!

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!

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!

Hope you are doing better! Thinking of you!

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!
