ok back home … i was running an errand with my husband before going to pick up the prescription for my surgical wound infection an hour or so after it was called in… during that the infection in my main wound site, well to put it mildly, drained rapidly while i was in the store… and some combination of the wound infection finally coming out, fever and some dehydration caused an altered mental state for a few hours leading me to be taken to the emergency room….

had a night filled with many ivs and iv attempts (blown veins, infiltrating ivs, very low flow etc) , bunch blood tests, multiple bags of fluids, multiple doses of iv antibiotics, a ct with contrast…. saw the surgeon and told to head home and see him monday as planned…

fun times

on a positive note i currently don’t feel intense pain getting up or sitting down… just discomfort and light pain..

oh the things we go through

Wow. I am so sorry you are going through that. That is uncommon less than 3%. My whole family are in the medical field. I looked it up because of that. Hopkins website stated that it can happen when you are touched by a contaminated caregiver or surgical instrument. Again, I am so sorry you had to go through that. default_sad.png&key=eede538cefacefd5b09bc3209f264a659ab0a07f9d0c9c28b43ddf136bc5059a

must have been in surgery since it was deep and the incision was still tightly glued until it popped

Yeah. I think so too . Definitely not anything you did. Hoping for a fast recovery for you.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
