Just a quick update to what is happening with Ellie and I. I do have an abscess and fluid building up, but am on 2 pretty strong antibiotics to try and clear it up (Flagyl/Cipro). Whatever appetite I had before starting those meds is now completely gone. I'm barely eating, but am drinking so I don't get dehydrated. I don't know how well these pills are working, though because I'm still having that pain. So, maybe that's not even related to the abscess...who in the hell knows. Also, I'm told that my liver is probably fine and had something to do with timing of the contrast upon taking the CT picture. The doctor I saw last Monday was not my surgeon, but rather the heartless woman that screamed at me 2 days after my surgery that I needed to get up and walk around and being in pain wasn't an excuse. She walked into the room and was like "I remember you from the hospital!" and I'm thinking in my head "And I want to punch your face in..." I can't wait to actually see my surgeon and go for my repeat CT on April 2nd.
For the most part though, I'm feeling back to myself. I'm moving around more and doing more with the kids. If I get up and down too many times, I start getting sore and it still hurts a bit to bend. Once I know longer feel nauseated and my jeans stop irritating my incision, I will be happy. I truly hate wearing sweat pants all of the time...I miss my cute jeans. All is fine as long as I'm standing...but as soon as I sit down, the top of the waistline just starting cutting into where I'm glued. Owwww....
I truly can't wait for summer to get here. I should be not in any more pain and I should be mostly healed, at least on the outside. I hope I don't get sick of my pouch...for now I love the thing because it's working and for the first time in my life, I can say I'm shitting every day, multiple times lol.
