Infection

Sep 02, 2014

I went to see my surgeon for a follow up visit today.  I have been complaining that one of my incision sites was draining too much.  I've had to change the dressings six times a day.  Well, as expected, Dr. G. said it was infected.  He opened in, flushed it with peroxide and packed it.  He also ordered a visiting nurse every day to redo the dressing.  I have to take off the dressing in the morning and I am scared to do that.  I am in pain but he did give me vicodin for the pain.  He also ordered an anti-fungal powder for under my breast and put me on amoxicillan for 7 days. So much for a smooth recovery.
