Progress?

I found out that I can stop taking iv antibiotics at yesterdays appointment. 
[Hooray!!!]

Then she told me I need to be on oral antibiotics for 4 more weeks...
[Boo!!!]

And that I need to keep flushing the tunnel catheter daily until it is removed
(Another surgical procedure that will most likely require a pre-op appointment too).
[Ugh!]

I am looking forward to having my neuroma (the nerve mass in my right arm) moved on Monday...
even if it's another surgery and they will put in a portable pain pump (continuously add drug for 2-3 days).

Oh well, at least I'm moving forward.

  2. Hooray for progress!!! I hope that the neuroma procedure goes well.
    Also neat to hear about your driving. That is awesome! I think you are brave. I have never been comfortable driving, so you are an inspiration there!
