After many blood cultures, chest x-rays, CT scans, every antibiotic known to man, gallons of fluids to maintain my blood pressure, two days in ICU, two days back on the transplant floor, they still don't know exactly what the problem was. They believe I was septic and had a blood born bacterial infection which could have come internally, I could have breathed it in or possibly from my Hickman. They released me today with a hefty antibiotic to ward off possible leftover problems in my body. We are back at the Marriott and settled in. I have a blood draw and clinic visit at SCCA tomorrow where they will review the past several days and hopefully deal with the issues I'm having with the excessive dead skin hanging off my foot from my blisters. They didn't want to deal with them at UWMC and then send me back to SCCA to have them wonder what they looked like the day before. Imagine the entire ball of your foot as a blister with dead skin from your toes to the middle of your foot. It's a big area. All in all, it's all good and I'm feeling great!
Judy - You keep throwing them curveballs and keep coming out on top! Do you think it's from all those years in the baseball bleachers?
ReplyDeleteI think of you everyday and know that you are on the road to getting better so that we can once again raise a little hell together.
Oh and I think you have now topped me in the most disgusting blister story - eeew!
