Infection Still there

Matt still has an infection going on. We are not sure why this is happening. We would like to have a CT scan done but both insurance companies don't think it is necessary. We are in the process of an appeal. Matt has a yellow drainage coming out, swelling in his pelvic region with a small amount of pain. He has taken antibiotics for 7 days already. That helped to reduce the swelling but it is still swelled and draining yellow fluid.

Tomorrow Matt will be getting his stitches out. He can't wait. It is hard to wear clothing because it rubs against the stitches and irritates the incision.

Matt has been doing pretty good a slowing down and taking it easy for his body to recuperate. He so wants to feel good and get back to work and use the new truck they got for him to drive!!

Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers.

Matt, sorry to hear that the infection is still there. What does Dr. Sugarbaker think the problem is?? Maybe it's the stitches that are infected, and once they are out things will clear up.
Under the circumstances, I think that taking it easy is a good idea.
A new truck huh? I bet that has you bitting at the bit..
Take care Matt,
God Bless
