When I woke up this morning, my temp was 98.7. Not too bad.
BDHA and I went down to Dr. Z's office. I do have an infection in my arm. It was red and swollen. He ended up taking out the drains because he said foreign objects and infections don't get along. It was surprising but I didn't feel a thing when he pulled them out. I was all prepared for massive pain because they hurt in the hospital jabbing me when I moved wrong. It was a nice surprise.
He took a swab for the lab to check on the infection. He also gave me an antibiotic. BDHA and I will go later to get it filled. He put a bandage over the incisions. Just need to change them once a day. He said to call if it gets worse. I have an appointment for next Friday. I'm glad I no longer have the drains, I just hope it doesn't cause more problems as I was still draining a lot.
We stopped for lunch at Jimmy Tsangs on Centre Avenue. It's a Korean restaurant. You get quite a lot of food for less than $7. We also stopped at Trader Joe's. Don't tell MFD but I picked up some chocolate cat cookies (chocolate cookies in shape of kittehs). She'll come steal them all.
I feel much better today. Let's hope that the antibiotic takes care of the infection and there aren't any other complications.
