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. I want this over.
The nurse is cool, a chipper, upbeat woman named Dawn who is both very sociable and very efficient. I’m not leaving the house till next Wednesday for a clinic visit. Fingers crossed, in two weeks all the plumbing will be removed and things will resume some form or normal.
That’s all for now. I’m getting reading done but not much else.
get well!
