Yes, I am still here!

Sorry about the delay in posting….I had surgery on March 12. The surgery was only "suppose" to take 5 hours, but it turned into 8. My urologist informed me that I had more than normal amount of blood vessels in my left kidney, which in turn took time to clap off. I ended up having two units of blood in the operating room, and two in my room.
I was released on Saturday March 15. Since I had two incisions (kidney and uterus) it was more uncomfortable than when I had the partial left kidney done in January.
I had my staples removed on Wednesday the 19, but I still had discomfort and the nurse noted redness around the lower abdomen incision. The left kidney incision looked great.
On Friday March 28, I was taking my morning shower. The nurse had told me to start pulling off those little sterile strips a week after the staple removal, so I started taking them off one by one from my hysterectomy incision. WELL, while in the shower, I sprung a leak literally. Junk was coming out of my hysterectomy incision, squirting all over the shower. It was so DISGUSTING! I didn’t know what to think, what to do or ??? I jumped out of the shower, placed a towel over the incision and called my hubby. I informed him that I was leaking everywhere and he made a beeline home from work.
While dripping wet from the shower, a towel over my incision, I called the doctor and was given an appointment within the hour.
WELL, my incision was infected, and without ANY pain medication, they cut it open and stuffed it with gauze. I have been put on antibiotics and EVERY SINGLE day, I go back to the Wound Care Nurse (50 miles round trip) and I am re packed.
They told me today it will take at LEAST two months to heal and I will probably have to come every day for another 2 weeks.
Other than that, I do feel much better.
And....I am now cancer free! Yahoo !
