If only thrashing incompetant doctors was legal....
Went over to Mom's to indulge in the joys of yard work today. Lot's of weed wacking and lawn mowing.
I enjoyed it immensely.
However....
The wound that the so called 'Doctor' gave Mom has continued to cause her pain, get harder around the wound itself, and turn red. So...Mom finally had to bow her head to the inevitable and have me take her in to the Doctor's Clinic Urgent care facility over in Silverdale.
I made myself comfortable in the waiting room while they called her in. And I waited. And waited. And so on...
Until she requested that some one go out and let me know what was going on. The guy that did so failed in his mission. All he told me was they were giving her antibiotics and were re-dressing her wounds. Later...I was invited in.
So Mom told me that she had a serious infection. They had her on an intravenous drip of antibiotics. They were discussing sending her to the hospital for an over night stay. Her temperature was up (though it was still under 100), her heart rate was some what elevated, etc.
Neither of us was pleased.
Mom mentioned that they wanted to call the doctor that did the damage...but she couldn't remember the name exactly. So she asked me to get a phone book. The nurse or tech that gave it to me was...condescending and said she doubted it was in it. So we looked any way...and what do you know? We found him. Said a few colorful things about him and his alleged ancestry while we were at it.
Afterwords, I got to return the phone book to the same lady. I told her the name...and even spelled the last name for her. She was a bit annoyed I think. XD
After the Urgent care Doc consulted with their preferred Surgeon, they both agreed that Mom didn't have to go to the hospital tonight unless things get worse. So tomorrow...off to the Surgeon she goes.
Status wise...she's hanging in there, but in a lot of pain. All prayers and hopes for well wishing are appreciated.
