more appendectomy issues /might have reschedule sugery again

Jul 28, 2009

  I went back to the hospital last night because I had a temperature 102. 6I was told that I had an infection pocket/abscess in the wound that is still open from surgery 6/23/09. The surgeon that preformed my surgery can careless about my well being. I have gone to his office seeking help for the drainage and smell. I have been to the ER twice and my PCP once. The hospital and my PCP recognized my pain and the presence of an infection placing me on antibiotics. Last night at the ER the surgeon had to cut open more of the wound to drain the infection. I stayed at the hospital until 5am from 7:30pm. After leaving from the hospital I had time to eat & shower. I had to be at pre-op at 8am. Without sleep I completed pre-op from 8-3. I then went to the surgeon's office where he proceeded to rip the packing from my incision and stuff a dry piece of gauze in my incision. He then told me me that is is ordering home health to take care of the wound. My gastric surgeon want to check on this wound on Aug 11 to make sure I am ready for surgery.
