Actually, I'm losing the fight with an infection at the moment. I hope I do eventually win though.I have a nosocomial (hospital acquired) infection of some strain from the Enterobacter family. It has been expressing its self through two of my three recent surgical scars. Since the antibiotics aren't working they cut my scars open, to release what was inside them and determine the extent of my infection.
That did not totally clear up the issue. The source of where is is all coming from is unknown. I am getting a CAT scan tomorrow, Sunday, in the morning. Then I meet with the surgeons again Monday afternoon.
It could be them putting in some drain tubes. It could be surgery again, but only on the surface, not into my peritoneal cavity. But if the infection and pus is from really deep inside, then I'll have to be totally cut open again.
So yeah, I'm walking around with these two great gashes in me. Fun times!
Worried and checking in.
