I underwent a minor operation last August 27, 2014 at The Medical City in Ortigas. There was an abscess and the doctor had to drain it out via surgery. It was an out-patient procedure, and one that I have already underwent in the past. But this time, the doctor was surprised that the cavity was very big. Meaning, he had to drain a lot of puss (and it was a bit painful). Two weeks later, fluids are still coming out from the surgical wound, which has not been closed yet. There is still a gauze or cloth inside the cavity so that the bacteria would come out. I was also just instructed to take another round of antibiotics.
It has been a stressful 2 weeks. For one, my movements were limited since I can't move my left arm fully. I also had to sleep on my back, which I am not used to. And I had to go to the doctor every other day for follow up and for cleaning the wound. I had to commute (MRT/taxi/bus) and that entails additional expenses. I also had to change my sleeping pattern again, because of the weird schedule- graveyard work shift, doctor, on/off sleep, other things to do.
I haven't had a full bath in 2 weeks!
I know this will be over soon. I just have to finish this new set of antibiotics and I hope the bacterial fluid will be all gone in a few days. Get well soon to myself. ;-)
