Hmmmmm... You know me. Went to the ortho yesterday. He drained 40CC's from a seroma. Doesnt seem to be infected but did a culture now the less. I have a mini pocket version of a wound vac called a PICO. Feels much better today with all that fluid out of there. Hope everyone is doing well.

 

[Jaycey]

Gosh - the saga continues! But sounds like you are back on track. Well done!

Make the madness stop.
You have 46 more days, for set backs, then no more. Zero, Ziltch, Nada.
2019 WILL be your year....I just know it.

 

[Mojo333]

I'm really glad they are staying on top of things.
I hate to hear you are back to a wound vac, but necessary evils.
I'm sending you all the best, @Fractured

 

[Mojo333]

When do you go back for recheck?
Does it seem to be looking better @Fractured ?
How about Turkey Day? Plans?

Just have been thinking of you and hoping all is getting better.

Hello Everybody.... Happy Thanksgiving! What am I thankful for?? Hmmm Family and this forum thats kept me going thru all the nonsense that is about to start up again. Ortho said on Tuesday that I have a small concentration of a low level infection that will respond to any and all antibiotics. What does that mean??

Well Monday, I go in for a clean out. I had an MRI on yesterday. It showed a pocket of fluid on the exterior of my thigh. Didn't look like it went deep to me. I have this enormous Seroma on the scar that keeps on growing. See attached pics that are 1 week apart. Well I came this far what the heck right? Worts case scenario. Another hip spacer.... Best case scenario. Wash out, picc line, and wound vac. I'm sure you all know which one I'm rooting for! LOL
