Enchantra Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Well, I just spent six hours in emergency. Apparently all the pain I had been feeling this week was a huge signal to me there was a problem. This morning I was running a fever. So Dad called the Doctor and I ended up in emergency. The incision in my belly button had become infected. The Doctor came in and had to lance and drain it. I gave birth to four ounces of nasty stuff. Now I'm on the world's highest powered antibiotics, I swear by it, AND I won't be going back to work after Christmas. I swear, will it ever end? I apologized to Mom and Dad for ruining their Christmas and they told me I had not ruined anything and that it was best to have me healthy. Anyways I'm laying low tonight. The Doctor gave me another Vicodin prescription. IT will be useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Adcock Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 OUCH! Feel better soon, Enchantra. I had to have a knuckle lanced and drained once. It didn't contain four ounces though, yuck, that's gotta be misery. Well, Merry Christmas and Happy Painkillers, at least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enchantra Posted December 25, 2004 Author Share Posted December 25, 2004 Well Bill I also get the pleasure tomorrow of pulling the guaze out of the area that they stuffed it with after draining it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Damn! I wish you the best, Enchantra. Don't give up, alright? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enchantra Posted December 25, 2004 Author Share Posted December 25, 2004 I won't give up. I'm made of pretty tough stuff. It will take a heck of a lot more than this to level me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battleMountainminis Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Ick, draining is painful...I'm sorry you're having a rough go! You'll feel better soon I hope... at least you can add a glass of wine to the pain killers and see what wonderfully colorful sculpey projects you can come up with... I have surgery again on the 29th so I know what you're up against Hang in there Feel better Betsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways aside form the pain and the not-so-fun medical stuff I'm having a good Christmas with my Family. My Menorahs from Chanukkah are still on the Entertainment center in the livingroom. EDIT: The fun continues: I just went to remove the guaze as instructed by the Doctor. Only a small piece came out so I have cotton guaze stuck inside me and I cannot get to it. Thankfully I see the Doctor on Monday, he can remove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
