A couple of setbacks. Getting frustrated.

November 27th, 2010 · 4 Comments

Well,

Im 4 months out since surgery and have had a few minor setbacks. When I finally went weight bearing, and was allowed to drive, I developed an infection in the incision because it hadnt healed completely and spent 2 weeks packing the opening and on antibiotics. Kept me from therapy for almost 2 weeks. Now, I have an abscess above the incision. On Bactrim and Vicodin for the pain and go to see the Ortho on Thrusday for what was to be my last followup from surgery. Hurts to walk and have a huge lump above the incision. Also tired of the swelling. it swells up like a balloon during the day till I get home and can put it up. I know its a long process, but its getting frustratin. Any words of advice?
