I gotta say I’m loving my antidepressant. Normally I’d have tons of anxiety but I’m not right now. Turns out I’ve developed an infection and it’s moving more quickly than we thought it would. Dr called me in two weeks of two antibiotics so I assume he thought that’s how long it would take to get bad. He said surgery was probable but the antibiotics would give us time. Well it gave me a few stinking days is all. It went from tiny sores and a bit of drainage to bright red, scar/incision turning black which I assume means necrosis (skin death), scabs and lots more drainage.

My stomach has been all over the place. At first I didn’t want to eat then it changed to wanting comfort food and junk in hopes of not getting sick. Don’t ask me why but things like ramen, chocolate and Mac and cheese sometimes help settle my stomach. It’s worked somewhat this time.

Antibiotics are killer though. My headaches are worse. I feel sick continuously. BUT I found I can swallow these horse pills! Normally I can’t but it’s like my body knows I need them and I haven’t gotten one stuck in my throat yet or had one come back up. I swallowed both at once to show off for a friend tonight lol. Felt like swallowing a bite of steak whole without chewing but they went down and stayed down. It’s better when I eat with it so it’s looking like three meals a day and the bedtime snack if I take all the meds I should (sleeping pill is taken with food too).

All in all I guess it could be worse. Thankfully this week works for me on surgery. I get loopy sappy meds again lol. They make me relaxed and I’m never completely relaxed without that surgery sedative. Looking forward to the anti nausea patch too. Will be the first time in a week or more that I can be nausea free. Gotta look at the bright side right?? I’ll also get the first good nights sleep I’ve had in awhile. Still more negatives than positives but I’m doing my best to balance them.

Just wrote out a long update lol. Basically I don’t know anything because the nurse who was in charge of my care and talked to the drs had to leave for lunch and couldn’t be bothered answering my questions. The drs office should get the complete report about the same time as my appointment so I’ll have to wait until then to find out anything. The cultures won’t be back for awhile. 5 days of it turns out to be something easy. 6 weeks of its MAC. That bad boy takes about 6 weeks or more to grow in the lab. I got this infection 6 weeks after surgery which is why he’s leaning toward MAC. Most normal post op infections hit within the first week or two from what google tells me. I’m mentally exhausted and frustrated with OU’s staff. I had a bleeding issue on the way home but I got it stopped with Kleenex then a folded paper towel (bled through 6 layers 😳) and keeping pressure on it most of the time for like 3 hours. As long as it doesn’t restart I should be fine there. Super tired so I’m off to bed in a minute. Throat is sore, drain is annoying, vision is blurry because of the nausea patch which I’m very thankful for but no real pain. Just discomfort right now. Afraid to take Advil for my headache because it might thin my blood and start the bleeding again so I’ll deal with it. Will probably take a muscle relaxer tomorrow if my shoulders and neck stay this tight. That started with the lunch nurse at a time I should’ve been super relaxed grr.

I am so, so sorry. I just read your post. I hope you will sleep and that in short order they will find the infection. I looked and it seems this usually impacts the lungs if it is this kind? Praying and hoping it is all better than you expect. Do not worry about keeping up with replying to anyone. Just try to relax and get better. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thanks! Yes supposedly there should be a lung issue too. I’m a smoker, but they say my lungs are always clear like a non smoker or social smoker. Immune system issues are also common and I have eczema so that may play a part too. 🤷‍♀️ I got a report in my file today saying the cultures didn’t grow. I hope I get those every day so I can see what’s going on. That would be awesome! Didn’t hear back by yesterday morning so that means my covid test was negative. Not looking forward to more of those before each surgery lol.
