August 20, 2017

I've been complaining about a building area in on R side prior to removing my drains. Drains removed 14 days post. Well area got bigger. Sent photos, placed on antibiotics Cipro. I ended up at he ER, told induration and surgical incision infection, placed on Aug/Clav and Bactrim. It's draining a little & going down slowly, but I'm worried. I'm regretting I even done this surgery. Tears Tears Tears. I'm a nurse and I'm lost. Help
