I had this feeling as I was going to bed last night around 9:30 that you needed a prayer.  Sorry to hear there are complications.  Keep those positive thoughts.

THANK YOU everyone for the good wishes and prayers.  Bad news, there was dead tissue and infection.  Looks like I'll be getting a different surgery.  I'm laying in my hospital bed as I type this.

 

I'm looking on the bright side -- I will survive this.  Just don't know in what kind of form.  lol.  Y'all take good care and I'll be back to the forums full time within a week.  I'm borrowing DH's computer for the minute.


 

 

@Deb1010yetagain, I've been sending prayers and big ol' cyberhugs to you.

 

I'm sorry the news wasn't better.  Thanks for staying in touch, and remember you're a special part of these forums and you're greatly missed when you're not here.

 

Take good care of yourself, and keep in touch as much as you feel comfy doing.Heart

Thanks again (((everyone))) for your well wishes.

@Deb1010yetagain, Good luck on the mend and you'll be in my thoughts and prayers. I'm glad you're home to recoup. Don't try to overdo.

I saw my oncologist twice this week.  It turns out the cyber knife radiation I had in September has done lots of damage.  I basically have a large open wound in my groin and will be getting a CT Scan on Monday.  It looks like I'll be getting a colostomy ASAP.  I hope I'm not being too blunt for anyone on here.   I'm in so much pain.

 

Then I see my hip doctor on Friday to get my staples out and figure out what if any plan we have going forward,  Not fun.  None of this is.

 

As for the infection, I have a home health nurse come in once a week and change the dressing on my PIC line (how the antibiotic gets in) and take blood to monitor the infection.  Plus I administer an IV of Rocephin every day at home (antibiotic).

 

It helps so much to have the well wishes of the folks here in the forums.  Thank you for praying for me and not forgetting me.   I need all the help I can get.
