At the end of my rope!

And trying my hardest to hang on, but it's getting rough. Today is 13 days post-op, fyi.

So I knew my drains were staying in, they are putting out too much & it is still the "old blood" color, craziness, but the nurse said it does happen sometimes. Maybe it's part because I am a bleeder, maybe I did cause some internal bleeding that night 1 or 2 days post-op when I tried the bed & pulled on stitches along the muscle repair [that was the worst pain I've ever experienced], maybe it's normal for me, who knows.

I'm still running a fever, it makes recovery that much more better. I've had the fever over a week now. Doc says he didn't feel a hematoma & that everything is looking good (my bruising is all getting better), but did order a CBC to see if we can get an idea of what's going on, this fever is not cool. However, he's still saying it could be the whole "excess blood in parts of body where it's not used to" could be the cause of it. I don't care, I'm just tired of it and I want to heal! I don't want the fever, I don't want the drains (which I'm stuck with for at least another week now), I want to stand straight, I want the BA to drop (but still they don't bother me, I'm just sayin'). I want to feel more normal again!

So at the current moment I'm waiting to hear back from the Doc's office on the CBC results. He had us do it at our local hospital & have them fax the results to him, so no clue how long that will take. I'm thinking of calling him soon.

I'll hang in there, I'm just sayin' the rope is hanging in a freaking hurricane...
