My day just went from good to awful in the matter of minutes. My mom came over to change my dressing on my back. Well apparently the infection is worse. I took a pic and sent it to my surgeon's assistant. My doctor called me 5 minutes later telling me I need to get to the hospital ASAP. I Have to be admitted for at least tonight bc they can't wash out the wound until tomorrow.
Ugh! I swear I cannot win! Why does everything have to be so difficult! I give up! Ugh!
UPDATE:I got to the hospital/doctor's office and he said the picture looked worse than the wound looks in person. He gave me a prescription for a home wound care nurse so he/she will come to my house everyday to keep an eye on things and I continue my antibiotics.
Thank god I didnt have to be admitted. Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers! I swear I'm going to need a mental recovery after my physic recovery!

don't give up! hopefully this is just a small hiccup in your recovery. try to relax to let your body and the meds do their job so you can heal. sending lots of hugs and good juju
