Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 hi everyone well i ended up going to dr. today instead of tommorrow, while i was at work i took my shoes off at my desk,(as we all do) when evening came i could not get my left shoe back on. my foot was so swollen. went to my PCP, he took one look and wanted to send me to a burn center. Said i have a third degree burn and it is very, very infected, have a temp of 102 and to top it all off i am having a rib flare, couldn't figure out why my ribs hurt so bad for the last week or so. the dr. put me on a antibiotic and gave me siverdene burn oilment and steril dressing to cover it with. I am to see him again on tues and if i am no better by then i am off to burn center for some burn thearpy or whatever you call it. Said something about whirlpools and other stuff. So i am praying its healing by then. Oh well when it rains it pours thats how it goes. just thought i would fill everyone in , oh, also, dr. said that the reason it probably got infected was because of the pred. i have been on it since last year and my system can't fight off infection any more. dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 Dear Dawn, So glad to hear you went to the doctor. Hope the burn starts to heal up quickly now that you are on antibiotics and some burn ointment. Sorry to hear you are flaring in your ribs on top of everything else. You take care and keep us posted about how you are doing. How did you burn yourself? I am always getting scratches and bangs from one thing or the other and it takes forever to heal. Sometimes I think one little scratch starts an RP flare with me. My feet are still a mess today, but I am walking a little better. You'll be in my thoughts.
