Update on my foot
Mar 18th, 2005 by Leimamo
I’m in pain. Well, more in the head than on my foot. I went to my follow-up appointment yesterday and found out that the anti-biotics I took wasn’t working because there was a little sign of infection. Stupid me, I thought the redness surrounding the wound was due to the injections from the numbing medicine.
He removed the dressing that I had so expertly applied to my wound and sighed. He started probing the reddened area around the wound and shook his head. There’s some infection there. Then he said, keep your feet elavated. That’s really all I heard. I blocked out the part about soaking it and scrubbing it. I winced and cringed when he said that though. Is he on crack? It hurts! Why would I want to scrub any more than I already did? I had imagined those green scouring pads against the wound and that thought was not very pleasant. He prescribed me another type of antibiotics with a longer period of time to take it.
I almost forgot that I went to remove the cyst because it was occasionally painful. This new constant pain makes me forget why I went in to begin with. I wrote to hubby and told him that I needed to hire a housekeeper, nanny and cook by doctor’s orders so I could keep my foot elavated. He hasn’t responded to that message yet. Should I hold my breath?
