12/21/20 I went in for trigger thumb release surgery.
Doc said of I wanted he could do a pain block injection , that way I would be awake for the surgery and when he's done than I could go to work.
15 minutes after he's done I'm on my way out, no waking up in the recovery room.
Stitches came out on 12/31/20.
When I went in to have the Stitches removed I had some swelling.
I asked the doc if my hand was infected and he said it didn't look like it.
The weekend was a challenge do to how swollen and my hand was.
Monday at the emergency room I got 2 shots of antibiotics and a bottle to take home. With instructions that if I wasn't better by Wednesday I would need to be admitted to the hospital..
Tuesday we went back to the emergency clinic do to being worse.
And was admitted and in a hospital bed by noon with the strongest antibiotics from iv line.
Wednesday at 10 am. Surgery to my hand to drain out the infection.
I was on the strongest antibiotics from the continues iv until Friday afternoon when they were able to get determine the infection wasn't mersa and it was a strain of staff infection. This than changed the type of antibiotics and about 3 hrs between bags.
I got to go home Saturday afternoon.
