Surgery Update

Just a quick update. I developed an infection from the surgery. The OB-GYN said that they had to go so deep to remove the entire cyst and Bartholin gland, that infection was pretty likely. I've battled a fever of 100 or more since Monday, and I'm really just exhausted. I'm not as sore, but I have to walk slowly and sit carefully. I carried a pillow to the cafeteria today! The kids really didn't understand why I was doing that, and then they wanted to do it, too! The benches are very hard! Probably shouldn't have worked today, but they don't hand out sick days like gum around here.
I visited the doctor today, and she said to continue pain pills as needed and prescribed me 2 new antibiotics. She seemed optimistic that it would all clear up within the next few days. I have a follow-up next Friday, and another in 2 weeks.
I'm really hoping the infection goes away. My life has GOT to get back to normal, or some semblance of normal SOON.

Thanks goes out to the best nurse in the world, my awesome hubby, Matt! Love you!
