Hey guys, just wanted to let everyone know I'm currently in a hospital in Tyler, Tx and will be in it until some time next week.
I had surgery on Wednesday for ankle hardware removal. I had gotten a staph infection where they had placed in my rod back in September. That area of skin had died off instead of healing which left me with an open wound for months. When it finally healed up a few weeks back, it began to swell and leak green puss. Got it cultured and since I have a history already of bone infection in the ankle they decided to remove the hardware that was put in during my September ankle bone fusing. They wanted to ensure that if the infection hadn't already attached itself to my hardware that wouldn't, so they removed it and are treating it as if it was a bone infection for safe measure. They called in a Infection Specialist to work on me. He ordered a picc line placement for IV antibiotics for my ankle and oral antibiotics for the general knee infection that I finally got cultured and taken seriously. (You guys remember that post, right?) So now I'm finally being treated for my two infections at a hospital and they are very determined to get me back to full health. I'm very happy about that. Hopefully this will be my last surgery on my ankle because, well, there isn't anything else they could do to it that I know of.
So I could use some nice healing prayers and vibes to help with pain management, quick recovery from surgery, and the banishment of all infections.
Thanks!!!
