cellulitis and infection
I had LBL and MTL December 30 and infection set in the second week of January at the left leg 'anchor' site. My doctor started me on an antibiotic but the infection traveled along the suture line and came up at two more (very sore) places over the next three weeks. I was very weepy and felt like my recovery was stunted. I also didn't know puss could be so stinky. The aggravation of trying to catch dripping puss every time I went to the toilet really got to me. He finally put a 'wick' in and changed my medication to a broad based antibiotic ten days ago and the infection seems to be clearing up. He will check me again next week. I hope I'm not going to need another round.
I wish you well on your recovery. Deb
