Real Quick...

Hey everyone! I just wanted to let y'all know that I'm home and doing pretty good. I feel like I gave birth to a 30 pound baby, but other than that I'm fine. Like Inkling said, no more drains and no more setons. Woohoo! My doc cleaned out the new abscess, (note that I said "cleaned out" and not "drained" like the other surgeon did) and then opened the others back up and did the same thing to them. I really like this new surgeon, she is absolutely awesome and I feel like I have some hope. I have good pain meds and I intend to take them every four hours around the clock for the next 48 hours or so until I'm not so sore anymore. I'll be setting up an appointment with a Crohn's specialist in Indy on Monday morning and hopefully we'll get something more accomplished towards getting on the good meds here soon.

Well, I'm gonna go watch "Night at the Museum" with my family. Yah, I know it's late, but it's Saturday, the kids don't have to get up as early for church as they do for school. Thanks for all your prayers and your comments, they keep me going!! Hugs!!

*after reading that first part again, I realized that it may sound like the setons from the last surgery were removed. No, they're still there, but she did take the old ones out and put in better thread that slides more easily. BUT, there is not a new seton in the latest abscess. That's a very good thing!
