Quick hospital update
RNY on 10/19/12
I'm still here, they're aiming to get me on oral antibiotics and hopefully home early next week.
The "collection" slowly formed into an abscess on my right side just under my ribs, which was extremely uncomfortable, being hot and very hard and feeling like my skin was about to bust open but good in the sense that they were able to ct it then ultrasound it and put a drain in it and the pressure is now going/gone the pressure on my lungs has all but gone so breathing doesn't hurt any more.
The abscess was quite big in circumference but also very deep so I'll have the drain in for another couple of days( had it in for two already) and they are flushing it regularly.
Hopefully this is the end of my dramas and I can finally start to get on track
