NoMoreFatGuy 61 Posted April 9, 2015 I mentioned the pain I was in last week. Well it got worse on Monday and has been progressively worse this week. I went to the ER today. I have a 9 cm abscess and a leak. I am about to go in to have drains put in for the abscess. Tomorrow we will be dealing with the leak. Not the odds I wanted to beat!!!

BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted April 9, 2015 You can survive this. It's not fun, but totally doable. When I had my hysterectomy I had a 12cm abcess (~ 5inches) that for whatever reason the doctor lanced w/o anesthesia! I ended up getting it packed and have a nurse come out 2x's a day for wound care. Good thing you went to the ER and got checked. Just follow doctor's order and you'll be good as new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoMoreFatGuy 61 Posted April 10, 2015 Thanks everybody. Just to update, I had laparoscopic surgery las night to clean the abscess out and install four or five drain lines. Today they plan on putting in a stent in my stomach to relieve pressure off the leak so it can heal. Tomorrow they will install an IV pic line for antibiotics. I will be in the hospital til at least Sunday. I am in ICU right now. Not out of the woods but moving towards the edge of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
