Since October I have not been feeling well. Lower abdominal pain. After 2 ER visits, I was able to get in to see my OBGYN. Due to my history of endometriosis and fibroids, it was decided I should have a total hysterectomy. Last week, it finally happened. There was a few minor complications. I had to stay overnight before being released. However, I just still was not feeling well and started running a fever. Wednesday I called in to see my OB and an ultrasound found some infected fluid. She sent me to ER to get some labs and a CT scan. I have an abscess inside on one of the incision sites. and was admitted and put on IV antibiotics. It was supposed to be one night stay again. They have helped but not enough. She did another ultrasound and there was no real improvement in the abscess itself. So last night she went back in to open the abscess to let it drain. The on-call doctor was just in now. I’m staying here. WBC went up and I have a little temperature, So he wants to keep me. Especially since it’s only like 12 hours since surgery. Just to see if things settle down. I don’t feel as good as I did even yesterday for sure. So a one-night stay has turned into 4 so far.
