(no subject)
Just got out of the hospital. North Platte Hospital. These past few days have been miserable. I had no idea this was going to happen. I'd like to type out all of the shit that happened to me, but I know no one cares so I'm keeping it simple to sort out my mind.
We went to the regular doctor here on Tuesday (just to be safe) to see about my lump 'bruise' thing. Doctor was worried, sent me to get blood drawn and then sent me to the hospital to get a simple cat scan thing or whatever to see if there was fluid in the area.
Yeah, we waited at the hospital forever, finally got a cat scan.
Lots of fluid showed up but they werent sure what kind. etc. etc. Said they would need to put a t ube in me and drain it and all of this. Small surgical procedure. Overnight stay at the hospital. I bawled. Ive had bad experiences with tubes and hospitals. A really nice nurse poked me a couple times for the IV and i bled all over her pants but she didn;t get mad. It took al ong time to get the IV in because my veisn are fucked up.
An asian doctor man did the small surgical thing while I was still awake, I was panicking and they had to shoot some shit into my IV so I would calm down. The local they stuck in my back hurt but I couldn;t feel them cutting me open or anything. I was out of it.
To make it short, I have a very bad, dangerous infection in an area of my back. It's contained right now, but if anything happens and it spreads, I'm fucked. It's BAD. The liquid coming out into the drain thing is so thick, they have to regularly put shit in there to thin it out. Its a color unlike any color of infection one of the nurses had seen. It's brown/green, thick, snotty, and utterly dangerous. If it spreads to, or if it has already spread to the rods in my back, I'm in trouble. Big trouble. They could even have to remove the rods if they get infected. You dont know how much this has been scaring me. I almost hyperventalelld wtf at the hospital, when the doctor was talking to me. North Platte doctors are so fucking stupid. They were going to do an actyual surgery, cut me open and get all of the infection out at once, but that;s too risky because if it had s[pread to the rods NP wouldn;t know what to do. SO.... I'm going to Denver to have a surgery. I'm leaving tomorrow. The surgery is scheduled for Saturday morning. I don't know when I'm coming back. If it's simple and they can just drain the infection, I should be back soon, iif it's more serious and they have to do.. other things.. then I don't know if I'm coming back anytime soon or at all. I'm trying to cope but it's hard. No one could possibly understand. Right now I have this tube/drainsuckthing in me, we have to be careful with it and empty it a certain way and all of this. I have an IV thing in my hand (thus the bad/slow typing) so we can go to the North Platte hospital every 8 hours and get antibiotics pumped into me until tomorrow morning when we go to CO.
This is serious. I went through hell at the hospital the past couple of days. I don't know what's going to happen to me. I don't know if I'll be missing too much school. I don't know if they can fix me. We think this infection came from the acupuncture. The lady could have been a lot cleaner. We think she fucked up. There's no other way I could be infected as far as we know. My dad's going to get an attorney and see if we can sue her. This isn't right at all.
I'm done bawling. I'm done feeling sorry for myself, I know I have no choice and this is just something I'm used to. At least in Denver they'll put me to sleep and for a while it will all go away. Dr. Glancy, the doctor in Denver, said not to worry. If only it was that easy.
I hope that explains my situation somewhat, I may post again later if I feel up to it. If not, I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving and everything.
