now its my wife...........

[Jerkbiat]

Great news!!!

[glenn57]

Well this sucks. Last night about 10 I get a call, 1 of 5 cultures started growing so looks like I drove down to visit. Maybe tomorrow.

[Dotch]

Aw crap, that sucks glenn.

[Gunner55]

Sorry to hear that, bud.

[mike89]

yea sorry to hear that, maybe a false positive..  but she's in the right place to catch it so soon....

[Jerkbiat]

Well that bites. Hopefully they can knock it out quick. Or like said maybe false positive.

[LPS]

Damn

[glenn57]

so, i'm home now. to say i'm totally frustrated and disappointed is a severe understatement. i go there as the orthopedic asst was in her room. we talked , then the infectious disease doc came in. he was helpful but was kinda a putz.

i did ask about the false negative, after he mumbled a bit about how there stuff was clean and sterile he said it was highly unlikely but possible. then i asked why did only one culture of the 5 grow..he mumbled some more. so right now orthopedic and infectious disease is trying to figure out there action plan. pill form meds or the PICC line. IF there's one good thing that came of this is it was caught while she was there and could be addressed rather then getting a call at home saying come on back!!!!

she has been having issues with IV's working and said she feels like a pin cushion. so i wait tomorrrow till i get a phone call that the all clear is in to come home.

then to add more  to my trip down 94 was closed from 694 to downtown. good thing i had my Nuivi kinda helped navigate my way around!!! now that i know i''l take 169 to 394 into downtown......thatg was pretty simple getting out!!!!

[Jerkbiat]

Hoping for the best Glenn!!

[mike89]

2nd that.... 

[LPS]

Man Glenn.  Talk about stress.  Have a cold one and kick back and try to relax.  Hopefully they get it all under control.

[glenn57]

 

just got off the phone with my bride..........i'll be headed to the big city to collect my wife.  they came in this morning and told her they think the one culture was contaminated!!!! there is NO MERSA!!!!!

i really questioned the only 1 of 5 grew...........AND  i gotta give Mike alot of credit for bringing up the false positive......... that really made me push the issue, thinking it made them rethink things!!!!! thanks bud!!!!!!!

[Jerkbiat]

Great news!!! Hope her recovery is speedy!!

[mike89]

yup darn good news!!!!   but better safe than sorry too!!!!   be nice to the nurse's too bud!!!   

[Dotch]

Good deal glenn! Hopefully Smurfette will be gentle & your lashes will heal quickly! 

[roony]

Best wishes to you both.

[glenn57]

  thanks guys, we are home now. I hid the whip.

[Jerkbiat]

  Good to hear. I am having trouble holding onto my whip. 

[glenn57]

came home a day earlier that planned.    talked to Sue thurs evening. said her incision was leaking. went to Blaine for a scan.......on the way back home she recieved a call to head to the U of M ER. friday night she was admitted. they did surgery this morning......

well we are back to f@#$$^ square one. she had a really bad infection and they think its the MERSA again. the surgeon is out so waiting for him to make a game plan, but they think its possible the spacer is going back in, and a picc line going home wed or thurs. and she may be taking antibiotic's the rest of her life. 

to say i am thoroughly upset would be a severe understatement. 

[mike89]

damn sorry to hear that Glenn!!!  my prayers to ya all!!!

[Dotch]

Sux. Again.

[KEN W]

Damn.....sorry to hear that. 

[LPS]

Damn it Sue and Glenn.  I have been rooting for you and the wife and I talk about your medical steps you have had to take.  Keep your chin up.  It may not be as bad as it seems.   

[Bobberineyes]

That stinks Glenn,  I usually don't keep tabs on personal threads but I wish nothing but the best for you and especially Sue.  Praying for an answer..

[markn]

Thoughts and prayers are with you bud.

[glenn57]

[roony]

[fishwidow]

[Steve-o]

Sorry to hear about the setback.  I'll keep praying.

[Jerkbiat]
