My boyfriend had surgery to help his sleep apnea on Friday. At 2 am this morning he came into the bedroom and stated "something is wrong!" his wound was more than seeping. It had gotten infected. I quickly got up and said we are going to the E.R. ...he said "wait I can get it to stop"....we waited long enough for me to get dressed and out the door.
The smell was just awful! They admitted him and pumped him full of fluids and antibiotics. We don't have the cultures or blood tests back yet. But the good news is that he is doing better. The swelling has gone down and his pain is now manageable. He is drinking on his own now as well. He has not eaten since Thursday night and had nearly nothing to drink relative to his body mass.
After only having 2 hours of sleep in the last 36 I am home and wiped out to say the least. I have been playing nurse maid for nearly a week at home and in the hospital. I can feel my Fibromalgia getting ready to flair and I am just sick that I can't be at his side overnight. I hope to get some rest and quickly return to his side.
All the prayers and well wishes are welcome and appreciated. Thank you for letting me vent a bit.
