Calling the surgeon this am

[Guest guest]

Good Morning!!!

Well the lump to the side of the hernia repair started to burn

last night so I thought I better call Dr. Cutie Pie this am. My

followup appointment is tomorrow but will let him make the choice if

it is ok to wait until then. I sure don't want to hear the why do

you wait speech. Plus that darn flu feeling is excelerating, that

started yesterday too. Why can't they make that stop, I just don't

get it. One Md says its the panc, one says its the infection, one

says it the trauma my body has been thru with the progressive

stenting, infection and now surgery. I could understand being tired

but muscle ache??? I am getting very ANGRY right now because all I

want is to get better and get back into the swing of things. I

don't even know who I should tell about this darn flu feeling coming

back with a gusto. The infectious dude, my cardioligist/PCP, the

surgeon, my Gi Md or my panc Md. Sure is a tangled web... I have

been off the antibiotics for 16 days, but did have the IV

profilaxisis (sp)antibiotics for the surgery so that was 11 days

ago. I guess now that the antibiotics are wearing off it is

returning. I really don't think it is my panc because I can eat

everything and have absolutely no pain, that is a good thing...

Sorry for venting, I usually just grin and bear it but at times it

overwhelms me. The last time I saw the infectious Md I asked him

what if it comes back, and he said, " We are just going to shoot

you " . So that indicates to me that they are also at wits end as to

how to stop this. Oh well, life can be so much fun sometimes, what

can you do. Roll with the punches I guess.... Maybe I could live on

antibiotics the rest of my life, now thats an idea....

Love,

I had surgery in January to remove a few tumors from my abdominal

wall, and they had to remove a lot of my stomach muscles and also

from my pubic area. I still get a severe burn at times, especially

when I get out of bed. I imagine it to be the muscles stretching

from where they have been sewn back together again. I will have to

ask my doctor when I get back from my trip in August if this is the

reason. Hopefully that is all your burn is also..scar tissue being

stretched, or where they had to resew, and will just take time to

heal...which means that I hope that is all mine is, and not a tumor

growing back which for me is 70% chance or recurrence *pout*
