Well that was close...

Yesterday my mom was re-dressing my wound on my spine and she told me it looked really like the infection got worse. She took a picture of it and sent it to my doctor's assistant. My doctor called me told me to get to his office so he could look at it and admit me to the hospital to get it washed out the next day.

When I got to the doctor's office, he told me it looked worse in the picture and he proceeded to clean it out (ouch!) and was okay with me going home as long as I have a wound nurse come to the house to clean and dress it.

I was so relieved! Last thing I wanted was to get admitted to the hospital again. I hope I can heal without any more hiccups! If there are more then I will deal with them head on and think positively because "this too shall pass..."
