I can’t believe your doctor didn’t send you directly to the ER. You are at risk of Sepsis which could be life threatening. You may require IV antibiotics and an ICU stay.
This to will pass. I'm sure you're feeling a bit down, however, you are so very incredibly strong. You will conquer this small set back and come out stronger just like everything you have already been through.❤
Fuck. I had a surgery last year that was supposed to be a 7-10 recovery but it took two months. I was sent home and immediately went back a day later because I was still in pain. Suddenly my stomach popped due to an abscess that was tunneling it's way out. Good god are they awful.
YOU MUST GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM!! You should NOT be draining that abscess yourself and you should be on IV ANTIBIOTICS! PLEASE! To handle this at home or over a video chat is NOT SAFE. You are at a serious risk of SEPSIS and this is an infection that gets the bacteria into your bloodstream and is pumped with every heartbeat around your whole body. Your organs will shut down one at a time. Please don't stay at home. Go to the ER. Get well safely. You are in my prayers. Please Go to the ER.
