Anyway before I had the staples etc out I had the doctor to look at it. Well, He said I had a b bad bacterial infection in the site. I am on high antibiotics and he lanced it to help it drain. YUK! it hurt too! Well I go back Monday to have it check again. I take my medicine like a good girl but it don't seem to be getting any better. Its still very hot and swollen and red.. in fact I think it looks redder. I was running a temperature yesterday ( 101.2 ) all day. I felt crappy and slept most of the day away. The doctor said if no better I will have to have I.V. but in to get antibiotics that way. I am scared.  I am so scared of staph infections. The way My luck as been the last two years I don't want this. Please pray that it will get better. So far the Spinal Implant is helping with the pain in my legs and back, otherwise it will have to come back and Then I have to get a more evasive surgrery. Please pray...  I know The power of  and YT sure has it. IT works for me! Thanks so much YT Friends!

When is he planning to do the iv? I think the sooner the better, since oral ant. are not seeming to help. Maybe the iv ant. will kick its butt and get rid of it sooner! You poor girl!
