Re: Update on me! another Surgery date !

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I am sorry this is happening to you! You have been through just

incredible amounts of surgery with this, and I am hoping they can

get a handle and control over this infection. I know how important

it is to keep your spirits up, and that is something you have become

and expert at. I will be thinking of you, and will watch for how

your Dec 1st surgery goes. Are you on some antibiotic courses until

then?

Hugs,

Fran

removing some plates and screws. He will also act on what he sees on

the scan.

Hi Fran,

I sure hope that this time they will be able to get a hold of the infection and

get rid of it! It's important to keep your spirits up.

I have been off the antiniotics for a few weeks as I had enough and I had been

on them for so long and my body needed a rest.My surgeon agreed that it was a

waste of time being on antibiotics at the time because they weren't doing

anything for the infection. But he did say that he wants me back on the

antibiotics ready for the surgery that will miniminse the risk of another

infection!

Thanks Fran!

Hi , I hope everything works out well for you in December.

It's a hard enough surgery without having to deal with anything

extra like infections. I'll be thinking about you and hope that you

have a swift recovery.

Take care,

Pam

,

Just thought I would give you some info on what helped me with an infection I

had..I did hyperbaric chamber treatments and the infection went away..I had been

on antibiotics for months and it did not work..this chamber is also good for

bone healing and cell reproducing espec if you are having another surgery..it

worked for me!!!! Look up hyperbaric chambers on google and you can research

more...just a thought and something you may want to tell your OS..its costly but

helps for sure...if you have insurance Im sure they will pay for it...I had to

lay in them 20 visit at 2 hrs each visit prior to my surgery and 10 visit after

my surgery at 2 hrs each visit..my surgeron said all the infection was gone (he

noticed during my surgery) #4..which is a long story on the reason for all the

surgeries...

just thought I would mention something that helped me with infection and healing

- Sorry to hear that you are going into surgery once again, but

maybe your surgeon will finally be able to get rid of your infection.

Does he plan to send some samples of the infection to the

Microbiology Lab? They could culture (grow) the organisms and

identify them, and give you the antibiotic that has the best chance

of killing it, once and for all. I work in a hospital laboratory, and

this is done on a daily basis. Ask your surgeon if he plans on doing

this; maybe the antibiotics you've been taking weren't specific

enough to kill off the organism that's the cause of your infections.

Just a thought. Take care of yourself. ~~~ Diane (Idaho)

Hi diane,

My surgeon will be taking some samples to send to the lab.

I'm hoping that this will be my final surgery for this year! and that it clear's

the infection as christmas is around the corner and I want my life back!
