On the mend

Well, since I last posted, I have yet again had a stay in the hospital, this time for surgery! Long story short, I developed abscesses on my legs (from clogged hair follicles, go figure, damn shaving) that required immediate attention, so the doc decided to check out the breast situation at the same time.

Go in for general anesthesia (first time, not that I'm proud) and ended up having two areas lanced and drained on my legs (one on each thigh) and a big cut in each breast with 100 cc's of pus (nasty) removed from one, 50 from the other. Add in three days in the hospital, 3 or 4 IV antibiotics, pill form antibiotics and here we are, 2 weeks later.

I go in yesterday for bandage changing/exam and doctor decides to cut open a pimple on the breast to make sure I'm not seriously infected with something else. Now the breast that was healing nicely is red, inflamed and sore again. And surprise! Back on antibiotics and anti inflammatories. Even better, apparently this is all cause for concern that I might have diabetes, which is just bizarre, so I go for the blood work on that on Saturday.

My mother-in-law is here, which is great, because I need the help. I just request that you all send happy vibes this way, healing thoughts and positivity because I need to get better and stop this bullshit, pardon my French, STAT. I'm done. Time to be healed.
