Complications

This has been an interesting week to say the least. (I apologize if this is too much information for anyone.) I came down with an infection from nursing last week. I was on antibiotics but it still turned into an abcess. Monday afternoon it began to drain-for a long time. I went to the doctor Tuesday morning and she sent me to a surgical clinic. The surgeon was talking to me asking questions, when all of the sudden he told the nurse to get out some needles... what? He ended up lancing and draining the rest of the abcess. Then he packed it with gauze. Supposedly he had numbed me before doing this-I can't imagine what it would have felt like if he hadn't!
I'm so glad that Dustin took half of the day off work when he heard I was going to see a surgeon so he was with me. Of course that meant that the doctor could show him how to clean and re-pack my wound. He is doing a great job and is really careful when he changes everything, but it's still no fun for me!
Tomorrow (Thursday) I have a follow-up appointment so hopefully I'll be released and we won't have to do this anymore.
