Had a bit of a set back!
Hi, I woke up Monday and had some swelling under my arm pit on my right side and at my drain site on my left both being sore.
I drove my self to the urgent care at JPS where, because it was so early they got right to me.
I have a knack for showing my appreciation it it really help at the county hospital.
They took a blood test them had the surgeon come an look at it and did he ever go to work. He cut open some of the areas and squeezed out puss and infection while I just laid there and took it, He said I have a great tolerance for pain, I said no I'm just a real good liar LOL
He then cleaned out everything very well and put in the open areas, some micro-biotic ribbon, wrapped my arms in crulex gauze and gave me some antibiotic and pain prescriptions and gave me a follow up.
Since then I've stay on my but and just tended my arms, being kind to my self.!!!!
By the next morning it was already better and today they are right on track. I also bought an Under Armour compression shirt that doesn't bind under the arms and also wicks away the moisture.
I go see my Pcp Saturday, and see how I'm doing. Bard

Glad you're doing better.
So happy you didn't ignore it thinking it'll resolve itself.
Keep us posted.
Please take ALL of your anti-biotics.
So many ppl feel better and don't take them all, and then the infection comes back and the bugs are now immune.

WOW Bard....so sorry you had a problem. So glad that JPS took good care of you and got that infection out. PS in no walk in the park that is for sure. The LBL is tough too. Just wait if you have that done.....not fun at all. Please listen to your body and if you feel weird again head for JPS and don't delay. Glad you are going to your PCP for a checkup on saturday. Take care and don't lift anything heavy !!!!
