The fun never ends for some of us. I have ANOTHER abdominal abscess that hurts like heck and is draining on his own (I did help it a little by lancing it with a sterile syringe).
Saw my GI surgeon and he said that he has to go back in and see where the infection is coming from PLUS do culture to see if it's MRSA AGAIN, staph, or steph. PLUS, he is going to do a biopsy on my rectal stump to r/o Crohn's and cancer.
I really thought for sure this was going to be my year at age 45. I was going to do things that I couldn't do before due to an abscess wound not healing for 1 1/2 yrs. !!! (you read that right). Turned out it was due to my body rejecting a suture that wasn't tied to anything so I pulled it out when cleaning the area.
My plans for FL are shot and I may even come home with a wound vac AGAIN!! fun times for me. So sick of this. anybody else dealing with repeat abscesses and surgeries??
