mmmm yummy hand

Had surgery

Well I had surgery today to remove what ended up being an abscess. The surgeon saw me yesterday and said he didn't care what the u/s said, he could tell it was an abscess.

So he says the abscess was the size of a large orange or a small grapefruit and that it was the biggest one he had ever seen and he has drained a thousand abscesses. He had to make a 4 inch incision and said he really coulda opened it another inch but he was trying to keep it as small as he possibly could. He said when he opened it the pus actually started squirting out because it was so full. I am getting some pretty good pain meds so Im not feeling too bad. Im just glad that this is almost over. I should get to go home on thursday. YAY.

Oh and they think it is MRSA so that's why none on the antibiotics were working on me. I am now on vancomysin which is a big dog antibiotic. Its called "the drug of last resort." Sweet.

having trouble breathing had an xray of my chest waiting for results she said could be pneumonia or clot in lungs but not sure what fever got up to 102.4 today they have finally admitted that there must be something else going on cuz the antibiotics should be working by now

Im in the hospital...

I have been battling clogged ducts and mastitis basically since Cody was born. I was on my 3rd round of antibiotics in the last 5 weeks and they were no longer bringing down my fever and I had a clog the size of a tennis ball in my left breast. Since the antibiotics weren't working (I was on 2 at the same time) the doctor admitted me to the hospital for IV antibiotics. So here I am, I will be here for a few days. I got here yesterday afternoon and have basically had a fever the whole time I've been here, tylenol and motrin are not helping to keep it down very well. I really hope no one ever has to experience mastitis like this. It is extremely painful and when the fever hits you get crazy chills and a headache and get dizzy and basically become worthless. I have not been able to spend much time with Cody because mamma has been in pain. :(

To top it off Cody had a cold and he got an ear infection from it, the pus inside his ear drum broke through the ear drum and started draining.

Please send healing vibes to both of us!
