Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 All, Went to the docs office and got to moon a few people....what fun! Actually went to neurosurgeons office as he is the one that handle the actual implant site, showed my butt to his nurse since he hadn't gotten back from surgery yet....she must have been impressed with my ass as she thought that another nurse might like to take a looksy. Both of them agreed that it did appear that there may be a start of an infection. However the mooning didn't stop there....since my pain doc is in the same building they suggested that I went down to show him and get his opinion. Once down to his office...I got to moon his nurse....then Dr. Benyamin himself got a good look at it and he too must have been impressed thinking that his partner Dr. Vallejo might like to get a look at it as well. So now that I have mooned 5 people and got all their opinions here is what they think.... The site is definitely irritated where the tegaderm ended as the blisters and welps were a telltale sign. For this they want me to apply Neosporin several times a day. The other area that is swollen and red does appear that we might have the start of an infection. They upped my dose of antibiotics, told me keep an eye on it, watch for any temp., increased soreness (Lord knows that it is sore....but some pain is to be expected, just to watch for increased pain in that area), redness or swelling and call if anything got worse. I am scheduled to go back in on Friday to have my staples out and they will check it again then. I have to say that I feel a little less worried as they didn't seem to think that it was anything to major at this point. So I am going to try not to stress about it too much and just keep watching it for changes. Going back to bed and will let you all know if anything changes! Must say that some of my feeling better about it could be `cause no one got sick when they got a good look at my backside...just sure that they must have been in total awe at the site such a beautiful FULL MOON!! hehehehe! See...I can joke still...that is a good thing, right!
