This post has been a long time coming. I haven't written anything because I was waiting on the end ... I was too overwhelmed during the event.
Shortly after returning from my 200 mile bike trip, I came down with another lovely infection. This time on my belly. About an inch up form my belly button. It was miserable. When this one showed up, my awesome husband researched doctors in Tulsa. We are DONE being sent away with little or no answers.
I got into an internal disease doctor and LOVED her. She was kind, understanding and concerned. She was WORRIED about me. Which is something I haven't felt from the doctors here. Due to the state of the infection she got me into a surgeon to have it lanced and drained. EWWWW... She also prescribed me some lovely lovely little pills... you might know them as Valum (spelling)... I know them as blue happy pills. :) OH were they fun. I was also on Hydrocordone (spelling) also known as white happy pills! Needless to say... the day I went to the surgeon I was a ball of happiness. In fact my fabulous friend JAMIE who took me.. she said I was great. I remember NONE of it, so I'm glad I had her take pictures to prove it happened!
Here are some facts ... if you haven't heard yet.
- They took a culture from my noes and my infection to check for MRSA. They did find it in my belly button but only a 1+ on a scale of 1-4+. And they did NOT find it in my noes which is GREAT!! That means that when I get these little infections it might not have MRSA in it. Everyone has staph in their noes... but not everyone has MRSA. I have just gotten lucky with my infections and picked it up!
- I might or might not get another infection.
- If I do get another infection... I have to call the tulsa Dr PRONTO and then they will get me into the awesome surgeon!

| The first picture is with the AWESOME ladies that took care of me each time I visited. They were so nice and kind to me. The nurse on my right is Alexis. She is so sweet and kind. The Doctor on my left is Lori Ormsby, she was so amazing and patient with me. The next picture is me with the receptionist Tammy. She was amazing. Every time I signed in, she asked how I was doing and referenced something specific such as my trip to Branson, getting my job, getting my class ready. She was so encouraging. When I left for the last time, they even had a shirt for me!! I LOVE it! |
