So, on Saturday, the day I got to Arizona Shannon's incision (from her back surgery 2 weeks prior) started hurting. We went to the ER 12am on Sunday and were there until 7:30am which they did a CAT scan and came and told us they "THINK" it is just a Seroma (a pocket of clear fluid that sometimes develops in the body after surgery). They sent her home with a prescription of painkillers and tell her to make an appointment with her doctor.
The next day she goes to her doctor's office and he is ON VACATION until the next day!
Just our luck!
We make an appointment for the following day and see the doctor and he immediately tells Shannon she need to be admitted to the hospital TODAY!
We just thought it was going to be a quick go in and drain the "Seroma"....NOPE!
She was admitted to the hospital at 2pm on Tuesday and a culture was taken and it turns out it was Staph!
Great job ER staff...idiots!
We took this at the ER while waiting HOURS for her CAT scan.
Around 3:30am...Yeah, I agree...we need more BEAUTY sleep!
Hopefully she can come home today...almost a week later.
