And the results are in…

Just wanted to let you all know that apparently I spoke too soon. Mr. Nascar has apparently developed an infection. UGH! I just want to scream. We were in the Emergency Room for 4 hours on Sunday because he was was worried about the odor associated with his incisions, and his pain level has steadily increased over the last few days. The bright side is that this doesn’t appear to be another staph infection. The ER doctor seemed to think that it was only a skin infection right around the site of the drain. Mr. Nascar is supposed to wash the area twice daily, apply a thin layer of polysporin, and continue with his oral antibiotics.

He did call the surgeon on Tuesday to report these latest developments. They told him to keep an eye on things and that unless he felt things were deteriorating they would just see him at his regular appointment on Monday the 27th. The doctor stated they removed 22 lymph nodes in total from under his right arm. No wonder there’s such a depression in the skin under there now.

The pathology results were in…

All lymph nodes came back NEGATIVE!

There was no additional cancer found. I was ecstatic to hear that. Hopefully once Mr. Nascar gets all healed up there will be no more surgeries and sickness. The man has only been home from prison 4 months, I’d like a little time to enjoy him before he starts falling apart again.

Thanks for all your kind words and support. And yes Maxxy, I’m a little tired of all the bloody drama myself. I’m ready for things to settle down for a little while.

I told him I’m going to nominate him for “Most Likely to get an Infection” the next time he has a high school reunion
