Okay so...
Here we go...

I went into the Emergency room last night for my second dose of vancomycin...
The doctor saw the now abscess on my left breast and immediately called for extraction...
My skin turned yellow and the "site" became more fluidic.

"I am so sorry, you have such beautiful breasts...you are going to have a very ugly scar"
Really? Is that what she really said... I was in shock!
Holy shit I went from going in for a med push to ... "I am going to be cutting you open".

So approx 45 min later she came in with the cart of goodies to numb me up and cut me open...

1st the numbing ... it was as if I had fire in my chest... as if someone grabbed my breast skin and stretched it as far as they could. I have never felt a pain like it... all I could cry was "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

2nd the huge needle and syringe that extracted blood and puss from my breast..."oh yea we are going to have to open this up" (oh my god..I am freaking out at this point!!)

3rd the incision and... "oh yea there is a lot of puss in here good thing we opened you up"
I could feel the blood and saline running down my chest and arm. Not a great feeling...
Apparently Richard saw her pull globbs of puss and "other stuff"... GROSS

4th The "wick" = a ribbon of gauze they place inside the now EMPTY CAVITY to prevent the infection from re-growing.

Okay so as if that was not traumatizing enough... the lidocaine now has worn off and I can feel everything!
Then the nurse walks in and asks me if I am itchy, "Yes, why?" I WAS HAVING AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO THE FREAKING MEDICATION... She pushed benadryl into my system and that subsided! PHEW!!!

Okay they discharge me and I end up balling in CVS because I am in so much pain I could throw up!!!
Did I mention that the incision was made at 10pm and I did not get pain meds till 12am...

Picture time....










SO MUCH FUN!!!!

UPDATE TO THE UPDATE...
So i spent all night in the ER because of this freakin staph infection... I was in so much pain at work that I had to leave ...
I am on 3 Different MEDS! They are treating me as if I have MRSA! I have to go back in tonight for round 2 of drugs and evaluation... We are going to find out whether I have to get the infected "sites" on my ass and my bewbie removed surgically or if they are going to heal on their own!

THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!!! I LOVE BEING SICK LIKE THIS it is as if I am on a HOUSE episode! NOT!





UPDATE....I HAVE A STAPH INFECTION IN MY BREAST!
And it is already in my blood... I have 2 other cysts already...

My Doctor confirmed that it is from my nipple piercing.
Do not get me wrong... I NEVER WANTED IT TO BE THE PIERCING...
And I am definitely not trying to scare anyone...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have felt so lost lately...
There is so much going on...


Icing on the cake......


I HAVE A FUCKING INFECTION IN MY BREAST TISSUE!!

It hurts like a bitch and I am so disgusted with myself. I want to rip it off!
I am really scared... and everyone is telling me that I should not be!

Well that is not going to happen...

I AM FUCKING FREAKING OUT!!!!!I HAVE A FUCKING INFECTION IN MY BREAST TISSUE!!

I did go to the doctors and she wants me to get an ultra sound because it is so deep in my tissue. Also she drew a border around it to see if it grows any by monday when I have my yearly physical. NEWS FLASH ... IT ALREADY GREW FROM THIS MORNING WHEN SHE DREW THE BORDER!!!!!! So naturally I am scared. The really shitty part is that it hurts... you never realize how vital a part of your body is untill you can not use it anymore. Think about how many times a day you lean something against your chest, or even something as simple as wearing a seatbelt.

This blows!!


p.s. I will update when I get the ultrasound!
