Tuesday is my surgery consult. *sigh*
Two rounds of heavy doses of antibiotics, didn't work.
Cutting out the original "mass", didn't work.
Packing open wound for two weeks with nu-gauze everyday
(thanks Lance and Lauri), didn't work.
Now I'm off to see the surgeon.
The plan is to basically open my left armpit wide open and "clean out" the crud and hope and pray that it doesn't return.
Surgeon, located at a surgery CENTER,
can't do the procedure there.
Oh no...
Has to go across the street and use the operating room at the HOSPITAL. Not just any hospital... the brand new (we-are-trying-to-recoup-our-huge-investment-so-our-prices-are-outrageous) hospital.
Grrrrr.... that means yet another bill for us. (yippee)
I am trying to convince them to just give me a local.
(keep me awake)
I don't feel 'normal' pain. This will save me having a huge anesthesiologist bill...
BUT I do not know if they will go for this or not.
We shall see....
My Lancing is coming with me.
I was planning on going alone and then he said,
"Ummmm, you're discussing SURGERY, I'm comin'. "
So, we're off to see the wizard... er the surgeon.
Maybe I can use the O.R. to the best of my abilities...
I'd like to have a nip/tuck, chin reduction,
foot reduction ~
get my money out of using that place.
I know... I can dream, right?!?
