Small complications

Yesterday I noticed that one of my drains had a milky look to it, which cause my sister to worry.  Later that night I had a fever but it was only 100.5 degrees.  After calling the Dr., she told me to alternate ibuprofen and Tylenol every 4 hours and call her in the morning. It was bedtime and I only had ibuprofen so I took that and went to bed. I woke up this morning with a 101.5 fever but no meds in my system.  The left part of my chest, by my collarbone was more swollen than yesterday and it was very firm. It was kind of odd since the milky drain is on the other side.

I went and saw the Dr's PA and she said I have some sort of infection and the Dr. gave me 2 different antibiotics. I also had to move up my appt next week for Monday.

Just a minor hiccup in a smooth healing process.  I still have pain especially with the extra swelling but my range of movement has increased and my appetite has gotten a little better.

I had my hair washed at the salon again. Felt so good but I am exhausted and now have a nap on my schedule for today.  Lol
