Hi i went to the doctor today for my staples to be removed it's been a week. when she started taking out the staples my incision started coming open. So i'm on antibotics because of it being infected and home health is coming to the house . I go back to the doctor thursday if i have the other places to open up i may have to go back to the hospital. Just wanted to you let you know. I'll be back soon i hope. lillypad

Hi, i went back to the doctor today she took out the rest of the staples so far it hasn't opened anymore. I go back on monday morning to have my retention brackets taken out. We are just packing the opened places . They looked good today. I have a bacterial infection she put me on another antibotic on top of the cipro. So i hope i won't have anymore problems.I'll keep you updated. lillypad

If your doctor put you on an antibiotic - watch for yeast infections - it is common for women to get a yeast infection from some types of antibiotics - each women reacts to them differently - so there is no way of knowing which one might affect you.
(((((Annie)))))) so glad that it is looking better.

Hi i went back to the doctor today to have my retention brackets taken out so far my incision hasn't come open anymore. The open places are looking good. Just have sores from the brackets and the tape. I have to go back every week until my incision is healed. Home health is still coming to the house once a week and my sister is a nurse so she is changing my packing to. Just wanted to keep you posted.
