cont'd review

I was in the hospital from April 4th to April 8th they had me on IV antibiotics -Zosyn and Vancomycin. Im feel a lot better Im still on oral antibiotics for this serious yeast/fungal infection near my groin area. Its clearing up well though. They nurse removed my drain on the 8th of April I asked her to give me pain meds before taking it out and it must have worked caused I didn't feel a thing. The nurse cleaned the area and put something their im not sure what the topical cream was she covered it up with gauze cause it was draining a little bit. My home care nurse saw me on 4/10 and changed my dressing by the drainage site and check my blood pressure and it was a little high. I went.to the doctor the next day and my pressure was fine. My doctor has me going back to work on April 28th. I return back to the doctor on the 25th. I did see the plastic surgeons on the 15th and was told everything is healing nicely my stitches will dissolve eventually. I feel a lot better just taking it one day at a time.

So much has happened

I saw the doctor and he told me that my kidneys were fine but I have a skin infection (cellulitis), some slough nasty yellow mucus by my incision so he had the nurse clean my wounds he said continue to take my antibiotics and he will schedule me a home care nurse to come to the home to do my dressing changes on my wounds. Ok Thank God my sister is a nurse and we were back on talking levels cause she came to show me how to clean my wounds 3x a day before the home nurse was to come. Mind yall its very difficult for me to walk I need a wheelchair, bedside potty, and a walker to help me get around. Thank God for all my kids cause each one of the 5 left at home helped there mommy out tremendously. Ok a couple of days passed and I saw my nurse for the first time on 4/3/14 she look at my wound and the.swelling in my legs and said you need IV antibiotics, I should be in the hospital. I was scheduled to see my doctor on the 4th and my sister told his nurse what my home care nurse was saying (I didnt know at the time my home care nurse stressted to my doctor I should be admitted to the hospital) so my doctor looked at my wounds and at first he was going to send me home but said no I'm going to send you to the hospital. Ok yall I had no breakfast this was like a 10am est appt so my sister goes and gets something eat and eats that piece right in front of me lol not out of spite yall I told her I was good but that food sho did smell good. Ok I go home get a quick bag to bring with me to the hospital. I go to the ER they have.get a.wheelchair for me cause walking for a period any period of time was exhausting and it hurt. I check in at the ER there is an issue with my last name because I changed it back to my maiden name when I divorced so im glad I had my passport on me so they corrected that situation. I was wheeled back they gave me an IV in my arm which was not a nice.experience

Thank You! I have PPO insurance so yes this is my private doctor.
Thank goodness you went to your doctor. I had a patient that acquired necrotizing fasciitis . She was in so much pain. She had to back to the operating room twice in the states. And she looks like she never had surgery done. Her butt is flat and her abdomen is distended. Not good!!! Make sure you take all antibiotics given to you. You are in my prayers.
Thank you so much! These infections are no joke I Thank God it was necrotizing fascitis omg she must of had debridememts one another poor lady. Yes I am still taking all my antibiotics. Thanks again!
