It's not really Summer unless I'm...

seeing a surgeon. We went to get the dressing changed on my back only to find the doc was out of packing material. She took a look at the wound and gave me two choices: have a CT scan and waste time, or see a surgeon ASAP. The second round of antibiotics are not working and the abscess is not healing. Apparently, it is very deep and funnel shaped, going sideways across my back with the "point" of the funnel at the wound opening and the "bell" of the funnel growing deeper. She is worried that the abscess may be attached to something in my innards. I bet a million dollars its scar tissue-the abscess goes right across my incision site. And the fever I have been running for 10 days won't fucking go away.

So we'll go back tomorrow to get the dressing changed and she expects that the surgeon will see me early next week. I'd like to say that this doesn't bother me, but it does. I have no idea what caused the cyst to abscess. I have no idea why these drugs aren't working. It doesn't really bother me that this is happening, just that it's happening "right now". I am 2 weeks away from ending my "new job 90 days" thing (thank god my insurance started the first day of employment) and while my boss has been bend-over backwards great about this, I still worry that it could be held against me, And poor Mrs. CB thought she would have a relaxing summer and now she is back to hauling my fat ass all over town to see doctors.

In other news, I told Mr. CB that I may have found my "work crush". She wanted to know why it's taken so damn long :)
