Update. I went to see the doc this morning. He removed the rest of the staples which caused the incision to open up. He cleaned it out some then put steri strips on and sent me to see my surgeon 2 1/2 hours away. The surgeon cleaned it up real good and put about 2 feet of gauze into the opening. He sewed it up with a needle and thread. Wrote a scrip for a couple antibiotics. Then sent me home. I have to go back on Friday. Dam, this is gonna be a long drawn out process. Kim

I am just so disappointed that I’m infected. Especially after I double check with them.
 
Update: The infection is/was pretty bad. They have it under control now. But they will be cleaning my incesion and packing it for at least another week or so. I’m feeling better now and finally eating half decent.
 
Glad to see you're coming around, buddy. You've been through it. Praying for a full recovery.
 
hearing that you're back on the track to healing delights me immensely. keep up the good work and know that we're all pulling for you! sending vibes for a speedy recovery.
 
Update. My infection is totally gone. I am starting to heal up from the inside out. I am so happy!!! The hotties have been taking great care of me. They are gonna keep changing the dressing till May 09 till I see my surgeon. Thank u to everyone that has posted in this thread. I really appreciate it. Kim

Thanks. I’m on it. Kim
 
My incesion is finally healed up. I feel lots better but am still weak and tire easily. I had great help from Home Care and the nurse’s. My return to work date is July 22. Thanks to everyone here for the prayers and well wishes. Kim
 
Jeez I was 27 when mine popped. Can’t imagine what it be like with some maturity! Takes a long time to sit up after they unzip you there. Sucked to have a cough or heaven forbid laugh! Feel for ya. Glad it’s doing better. Cheers
 
Glad to hear you are doing better, Kim.
The strength will hopefully come back with time.
Good luck, you are a trooper!
 
Got the news from my surgeon last Friday. I’m cleared to go back to work. Not sure when I will go back as I have a hell of a pain on that side. The surgeon didn’t seem concerned and said the pain will go away soon. I can hardly bend or twist. I’ll go back when I feel I’m ready. Kim. Thanks to everyone that posted in this thread. It’s very much appreciated.

Sorry to hear about the pain Kim but glad the doc is happy
 
Sorry to see this thread Kim !
Day late and $10 short. Hope you're all better !
 
Glad you're healed up, buddy. You ain't as young as you used to be so it's gonna take some time.
 
that's great news. good on you for not forcing the issue and rushing back into it, work will still be there when you get there man.
 
Glad to see you're on the mend, Kim.
Hopefully the pain will go away soon so that you have a better quality of life.
Working can wait until you're good and ready...
