Well, things slid backward this past Monday. I had a low-grade fever all weekend and decided if it was still there Monday morning, call the doctor. Events took charge and I ended up back at Barnes with a soft-tissue infection in half the appendectomy incision. They did a CT scan to be sure that was all it was and lo! I have an abscess.
So another day in the hospital having a drain installed, which is really annoying. I’m home now and I have a nurse visiting everyday to make sure things track the way they’re supposed to. There’s a twice-daily routine to go through which is unpleasant but I’m sticking to the program. …
