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.
Arrrggghhh!!!! That stinks. Sorry you're dealing with this again! Praying the new drug will do the trick.
