Frustration Abounds

Just as I thought that the infection in the incision site for the new lapband was healing, I found that I was wrong.  This morning I had gross stuff coming out the incision.  So back to the doctor I went.  Put me on a new antibiotic that we will see if it will work.  I asked to look at the susceptability testing for the Staph aureus that they did a week or so ago and we chose a drug together.  He wanted to put me on Kelflex which did no good the first time, the Bactrim that I just finished was on the high end of sensitive so this time we are trying Ciprofloxacin.  I hope it works.  I'm tired of this and would really like this to heal.  I can't get in the pool and the dumb thing leaks on my shirts and I could continue whining but it is getting dark in the room.........
(for those who don't understand the last sentence, a joke.  How many mothers does it take to change a lightbulb?.......That's okay, I'll just sit in the dark.)

Anyway,  I go back to see him again next week and if all is well, we may get to do a fill.  We'll see.
