Don, I thought that was the case when I talked with you a couple days ago. Too sore for too long.

Good luck, old friend,

Don - prayers for a speedy and painless recovery! "This too shall pass". It's the waiting that is bothersome...you are in the right place and in the right hands! Hang in there!

Don, hope you are feeling better and they get things resolved. Just a few days of flu like for me led to little ambition and depression - nothing like what you are going through. But focus of the brighter days ahead - thinking of you.

Thanks guys. They cleaned out the incision {ouch} and packed it today. Yesterday they did a wound culture and blood culture. Had heavy doses of antibiotics IV last night and this morning. They will examine the wound again tomorrow and at that time ascertain whether the infection reached the hardware of the defibrulator or if we caught it in time.
Worst case scenario is they will have to remove the device.
We're praying this won't be necessary and that the antibiotics have taken care of the infection.
Thank you for your good wishes and prayers.

Don, I'm sorry to hear this, but I'll continue to pray for you, and hope surgery won't be necessary. God bless.

Better news today...it seems the antibiotics are working and it looks as if surgery won't be necessary, at least right now.
The real test will come when they take me off the antibiotics. If the infection returns at that time, they will have to remove the pacemaker/defibrulator.
Thanks for your good wishes and prayers. Hope to be able to go home soon now.
Bad news is that my son and grandson, who live with us, both have the flu, so I'll have to be extremely careful. Of course most everyone in this hospital has it too so . . . smile
