Who would have thought we'd spend a good part of today back at Duke Hospital? Susan was actually starting to feel better (than yesterday, at least)... when her incision site became red hot and very painful. So, we just got home from several hours in the E.R. where she got IV antibiotics, pain medicine, and fluids. We came home with a fistful of new prescriptions, and will continue the pain pills, anti-nausea medicine, and two different double strength antibiotics. We are SO glad she was not admitted again...so grateful to be home again instead of on the 2nd floor. Hopefully this will turn out to be just a superficial thing, not involving the surgery itself.
It's just time for even more rest, and diligence about taking the meds so all this clears up.
Thanks to our favorite "doc" who made a housecall in the middle of all of this uncertainty.
Maggi and Susan

Sorry to hear about the ER trip. Hope things are better today. Susan has the willpower to overcome whatever is thrown at her. Please give her our love and we will be in town next week so hopefully by then, she will be up for visitors. Love, Vick and Judy
