Back from hospital again
« on: October 18, 2005 - 04:53:26 PM »
Just got home from the hospital again after being admitted Saturday afternoon with an infection in my back from the surgery.I was feeling pretty good Wednesday a week after the surgery but when I got up Thursday morning I felt like total crap-hot,cold,shakes,headache etc. but figured I just overdid it.Friday my wife checked out my incision area and it was all red and puffed up.They tried to drain it at the dr`s office and put me on antibiotics but by Saturday afternoon I got worse and went to the ER with 130bpm heart rate low blood pressure and 101.5 temo,was admitted and by 6:30 pm was back under the knife to clean it out.The las t few days days have really sucked but I`m glad to be back home and hopefully back on the road to recovery.Turned out to be a common staff infection so I am back on the antibiotics.

Ya,I probably have a couple more weeks of stir crazyness!I don`t have much pain so I can get around pretty good again but still can`t sit for very long.After going thru all this a really feel for anyone who has to go thru a mojor surgery or hospital stay-it ain`t no fun!!  So when`s Carlisle,I can`t wait!
