Well...so here is the latest..
I started not feeling well again last week and the low grade fevers returned. I went to my scheduled appointment on Tuesday (hoping to get my drainage tube removed). Prior to the appointment I had spiked a 100.5 fever and was feeling pretty yucky. My doctor then gave me the news that my fluid culture grew a rare bacteria and they were concerned since I have been running fevers for such a long period of time. Therefore, they gave me a new antibiotic and 2 options:
1. Do the exchange surgery now and remain the size I am.
2. Do the flap surgery we originally planned (the choice I should have made in the first place)
I chose option 1 and am scheduled for the exchange on Monday, June 25th. They will remove my tissue expanders and all the hard scar tissue and replace them with silicone gel implants. This is an outpatient surgery. I can not even begin to tell you how much I am looking forward to this. I have been through 7 weeks of absolute hell and am ready for it to be over. This hard brick I am carrying around on my chest will finally be gone!!!
Tuesday night after leaving the doctor, my family and I headed to Lake Cumberland. By the time we arrived, my temperature had spiked to 103 degrees and I was miserable. We got it to come down but have to say it scared the crap out of us! I have continued to run low grade fevers, but nothing above 100.3...but it is enough to make me feel sick.
I will update you later!
