Pre-surgery

I saw Dr. Weinstein, infectious disease specialist, today. He was very happy that I am having the surgery tomorrow because he was concerned about my waiting. He didn't indicate that at all when we talked about it. As Shanese says, "score one for the home team". I wasn't so happy that he left the picc line in because he wants me to back on the IV antibiotics tomorrow after I come home. I questioned that since they weren't really working. He feels they were working enough that he wants me on them until we get the results of the cultures back. We also discussed the possibility that my body is allergic to the expander. Bottom line - they don't know what is going on either. I am hoping the surgery and cultures provide some answers.
