Surgery Update

[grasshopper]

Surgery on shoulder was Feb 3rd. Everything seemed to be ok. Then the 9th happened. It is suspected that being thrown into the wall caused an internal bruise on the surgery site. A normal bruise (broken blood vessels) shows up on the skin. As this one internalized.. the blood clot was on the inside. Which got infected.

So now I have a 1/2 tennis ball size swelling on the rounded shoulder part. Goes down the arm a wee bit. Fever. Chills. Sleeping my life away. This all showed up yesterday which is about normal for an internalized bruise to rear its head. Good thing I hustled me butt to the doc, they said.

So now am on heavy duty antibiotics and have to go back for a recheck tomorrow.Today there is no change in the swelling. But so far.. no chills.

Gott a grab my broom and fly. #2 son has a soccer tourney. have to leave here at 11 am and it takes time for this one-winged 'hopper to shower and do my hair! hahaha!

later
