Wound infx

[NorCalGirl48 16]

Post op day 13. Had to talk to on call surgeon this weekend. Two sites infected. Red, warm, pain, swollen, no fever or pus. Glad I insisted they see me today. Staples taken out, had reaction to adhesive tape, very bad. The two sites open up after staples removed and pus came out. So now packing wounds 3 times a day,ouie. Got cleared for purée, taking whole pills and all of Vitamins. They stated they were disappointed in my loss of ONLY 15 pounds, but because I stayed in hospital longer, am constipated, started my period, have a post op infection nuns cannot walk much due to my broken leg....they will excuse it THIS time. Wtf? Really? Oh and my brother died the night before surg (not sure how that factors in)

I am so sorry that you are going through this and about your brother. Thoughts sent your way.

Well they're really gonna be mad at me. I've lost 7# since surgery which was 11days ago.

I think they want bigger #'s to boost their marketing potential etc...

allons-y

Thanks ladies, yes I miss my bro. I agree I'm screwing up their stats

So sorry about your brother. I lost my brother last summer and I'm still very sad . I can't imagine going through your physical stress at the same time as this emotional hit. You are very strong and an inspiration. Hope your infection clears up soon. And losing over a pound a day is great.
