Gundy 139 Posted May 11, 2018 So I went back to the doctor today for a check up to see if the antibiotics were working and if the tenderness had gone down (it was a rough night). Well the doctor said no and that he needed to drain it right then and there stating that I had an abscess underneath. Once drained he took a culture of it thinking it may be staph (this was the incision site he pulled the stomach out of) and said that piece of my stomach could have had a bacteria on it that led to this infection. I have to continuously change the dressing as he put a drain in to help with it still and go back Monday. I feel like we know our bodies and we need to listen to them. I’ve been talking to them since Monday about this because I knew something wasn’t right. I also feel like everything happens to me and I can’t catch a break 🤦🏼♀️ Oh my! You really have had it rough! Happy thoughts coming your way. Please keep us informed of what happens.HW: 225SW: 214 (5/2/2018)CW: 207GW: 145 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
