Rough week got rougher

[NoMoreFatGuy 61]

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!!!

@@NoMoreFatGuy wow, sorry this is happening to you! I have my fingers crossed for you that all will go well.

God Bless you, sir, you have hit a rough spot, indeed. We're with you, and are praying for your complete recovery. Keep us informed!

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.

You got this!

[NoMoreFatGuy 61]

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.
