Back in...and out...and back IN the hospital!
« on: July 22, 2009, 12:43:02 PM »
I was back in the hospital for almost TWO WEEKS!

I had my gall bladder removed...got an infection...went back into the hospital.  Thought I was better...got released.  Then got re-infected (staph) and damned near killed me.

The had to de-breed almost 6 pounds of funky tissue from my abdomen, now I have an open wound that is "healing" from the inside out.

The doc didn't give me the post-op anti-biotics I was SUPPOSED to get, and so...got the first damnd infection.

UGH.

Anyway, I am home now, and will be putting holsters together soon.  (As soon as I can sit up for more than ten minutes at a time without my guts wanting to slide out!)

Sorry I have been out of touch...no wi-fi in the hospital.

Sorry to hear what you've been through.

From reports of some people around here that went through the same thing it is tough but beatable.

Take care of yourself, and keep us posted.

I expect to see some really dandy leather work now that you are going to have some time  ;)

Watch that wound and take all of the antibiotics they give you.  A buddies wife just went through a tough time healing due to infections.  Took her 8 months!

SOOOOO, be good and follow the Doctors orders!  Don't push yourself.

Sorry to hear about your illness.  I know most of us don’t like involving lawyers but in this case, given your resulting infection and complications, it sounds like you may need to find a good attorney.  You may need ongoing care that will not be covered by your insurance or even Obama-Care.  Just a suggestion.
