If my kids could hear me that's what they would tell me. I've been calling my stupid leg stupid and my stupid doctor stupid. Which, I know isn't nice at all, and Dr. Spicer is a very very kind man. . . .I'm just not so sure he's the greatest doctor!
My incision opened up the day after he took out the stitches so I went back in and he said -We can't stitch it up again or it'll get infected.- So he glued tape to my leg. I could see through the tape as the next couple of days passed that my incision had opened more. Aaa! I do not want to go bac to the doctor.
So, I was talking to my friend, Cindy Jo, who's in school to be a nurse. I told her about it and while I did I picked at the edge of the tape. Suddenly all this brown icky blood came oozing out. And it reeked! I can still smell it. So, Cindy Jo, who doesn't have her degree, but at this point I'm trusting her a whole lot more than Dr. Spicer said I need to get the tape off. She came over, we took it off and it's nasty. Yuck. Ick. It's infected. It's got grey and pussy parts (sorry) and I'm guessing if I'd left Dr. Spicer's stupid tape on my stupid leg I'd being getting it amputated from the stupid infection. (I'm really not this angry) :) Anyway, Cindy Jo cleaned it and put meds on it and hopefully it'll be doing better by tomorrow or I'm gonna have to call a doctor.
I didn't take any pics of the before with the ickyness. O well, you probably are tired of seeing my icky pics, but here are a few.

What did you do to your leg? Is that where the mole was removed? I hope it feels better soon! I missed you saturday!! :( :(
oh poor thing, I sure hope it gets better soon! Stupid Doctor :)
Man that stinks (no pun intended) that you are having so many problems with your incision. I can for sure relate though, it can be so frustrating, I hope it gets better now that a nurse has looked at it, sometimes they just know more than a doctor even if they haven't finished school. :)
call me after the new doctor visit jen, or i will see you tonight. thanks for calling, the Priesthood rocks!!!!
Thanks for thinking of me with the blury picture but seriously Jen it's okay to say stupid in this instance. I can't believe all the trouble you are having. I also can't believe he glued freaking tape on there. Glad Cindy Jo was around. Holy cow you are dealing with this so well. Please let me know if you need anything.
Oh Jen, I'm sorry. Feel better soon.
Yay for Cindy Jo! Feel Better Jen!
What happened to your leg!! It looks as if someone bit you. Hope you heal quickly.
