Hello loves! x-post

 I figured i would post here and let you all know how I am doing so far. I don't have a comp, just using cell so i will try to keep it short. They put a drain into my abscess on Wednesday. Yes, I was awake but they said I wouldn't remember...well I stricken' remember! It was painful but doable. I had to breathe in and hold my breathe so the doctor could slowly tap a large yard-stick-of-a-needle in me. This is because the abscess was so close to my ribs and they had to keep using the CT scanner to see where the needle was heading. So four depth checks w/ CT scanner and the big ass needle...wa la! Drain is in! Then off to put a picc line in me (because the stabbed me so much I am black and blue up both hands/arms, the wanted to try my feet but doc saved me with the picc). The picc line is a dream! No more phlebotomists picking on me! ( by the way couldn't remember having picc line put in because the drugs started to actually really work from my drain procedure that happened moments before) Anyways enough with the rant :)   My drain is draining some nasty stuff out. They are running antibiotics in me. They took cultures but got no answers from them. My doctor needs to know why this happened!? He doesn't believe it's a leak...but I kinda think it is. He keeps saying my surgery was perfect and since it was a month ago that he doesn't want to call it a leak.  ???? What do guys think????   PS I love you all and thank you all for the well wishes, you have been my family for many months and I couldn't have done it without you. xoxo

  And one more thing! Thank you EN and MajorMom for helping me and my hubs. Also to Lisa for visiting me and bringing an adorable lion beanie baby. I don't know if you knew but Danielle is from the Bible, meaning heart of the lion.

Awww....Danni, I'm so glad to see you posting. You have been on my mind so much.

Give your mom and hubby and big hug from all of us for taking care of you and keeping us posted.

 Thanks for posting.  I've been worried.  Been swinging all creatures under 15 lbs for you.  Lol I had surgery last week.  I'm Dr Simpers patient too. I think you are in good hands.  Good luck, get well soon!

Sounds awful but at least you are on track now to get it cleared up.  I'm still swinging for you.

Gladto hear from you  - you have a LOT of people here and elsewhere swinging lots of critters for you!

Get well - we want to see you back and healthy!!

I'm so glad to see you posting.  I was very worried about you.  Take care and keep getting better.

Danni,
It is good to hear from you.  I'm still swinging my Little Willie for you and hope you continue to get better.  Hope the doctor can figure out why it is happening because I'm sure you don't want a reoccurance of it.

Hang tough.  We are all praying and swinging for you.

Linda
