Wow Heather, 

I had no idea! I haven't been to the OH site in ages. Today I decided to stop by and I see your message.  That nurse should be reported!  I am so glad that you are now home recuperating.  Wow 5 surgeries?  That is so much to deal with when you just had surgery.  I hope and pray you heal fast.

Bug hugs and lots of prayers coming your way.

Wow Heather.  I'm glad you're doing better.  That's so scary.  Where the heck was your surgeon?  I've had two cosmetic procedures, both times on a Friday. For my LBL/BL, I saw my surgeon on the following Monday, again on Thursday and one day the following week; his specially-trained nurses were checking/tending my incisions and drains.  I guess your surgeon was comfortable expecting that your home nurse knew what she was doing (given her training), but you had some serious surgeries.  I would think that he/she should have wanted to check you at least once during that time.  I'm so glad that they were able to get the infection under control.  I shudder to think of what you would have been dealing with otherwise. 

Please God, I hope you are through the worst of this.  Take care of yourself and trust your instincts.

I'll be thinking of you.

It's not how fast you go, but that you're moving in the right direction!

Wow  Heather sorry you had to go through with that. I would talk to an attorney though you could have died because of someones stupidity. Hope you feel better soon.
