Another minor surgery for Elnut..

[elnutsmalljaws]

Just got home from the hospital after a couple more days of rest and relaxation at UK. They found another abcess pocket right next to the one they operated on me for in early December. This time no major operation but they went in thru the open incision from the last one and cut open the pocket in the ER and drained it. Still made me stay for a couple of days and now I am back to square 1 with my incision from December 3rd. Seems like I could not catch a break if it was sitting in my lap. I guess somebody has to pay for the new ER wing at UK Hospital so it might as well be me. That is life, no matter how bad it stinks.

I have been keeping up with what your going through man and if it means anything I'm sorry to see you have to go through all that bull s&!t.
I'm not trying to one up on you by no means.
Mine is just starting for me I need a knee replacement and back surgury no prob right ! Well it seems that the pain killersI have been taking for the last ten years has caused heart and liver problems and now they do not think I"m healthy enough for any surgury + I have picked up 100 pounds the most of it water from congestive heart failure I get about 4 hours sleep at night I forget stuff all the time and my eyes are going bad on me.
Oh almost forgot my belly is all screwed up from the meds as well..
I do'nt get it you try and tell the doctors that these is wrong and this is causing that and they just let it go in one ear and out the other and now i have to go through the guinea pig syndrome. I dont have medical insurance so i get all my work done by med students and it is a 100% guarantee it will be done wrong..

Just make sure you have some good magazines to read when i get there elnuts.
All the best and take it one day at a time man.

Hang in there Elnut! I'm praying that 2011 will be much better to you.

Somebody please tell me something that makes sense. Well documented history of surgeries, collapsed lungs, pseudomeous staff infection, MRSA staff infection, Penniculitis Staff Infection, Cellulitis Staff Infection, Kidney Stones, Gall Stones, Need my Gallbladder removed, 15 Endoscopy's in 2010, Enemic had to have blood given to me 6 different times this year, Now I have major surgery on Dec 3rd and minor surgery again on Tuesday. Huge open pocket that I have to pack twice a day. Very painful, very deep, bleeds a lot, I can't keep warm, everything points to that I need to go back to UK ER for them to look at me again. I don't want to do this. I need to do this but don't want to do this. For now I will sit and suffer until I can't suffer no more and then decide. I love my wife and son and want to quit making their lives more difficult.
