I have had quite a journey the last 17 days since my gb. First everything was wonderful. Sent home after three and a half days. Nauseous, a bad rash but overall feeling good. I was out on Friday by Saturday I had a low grade fever. Early Monday my incision began to leak the most foul thing I have ever smelled. I had an infection where they go through the the bowel. Admitted back to the hospital for three days and then back again three days later.
My husband was brave an packed the wound that was over three inches deep and three inches wide.
The nausea got so awful that I started retching Saturday night.
Ten and half hours in the ER on Sunday. They found I had a tennis ball size infection on my right ab.
It has been nightmarish and bizarre. I am home for the third time after spending five days in the ICU.
I hope it gets better from here.
