Had a phone call today......
.... and no, my premium bonds numbers havent come up, it was from the GPs office, summonsing me for a meeting with the GP. Thrill-o-rama. As it turns out the swabs results are in (didnt she say to wait a WEEK???? Its only like 4 days!!!) and the results show that the wound is indeed infected. So, im on antibiotics again for a week. Metronidazole, 500mg, 1 x 3 times a day, for a week. A week isnt long enough in my opinion, should be at least a month, but we'll see, I can always go back if needs be.
All I have to do now is hope and pray that I can pee again after the ABs have done their job. If I cant, then im gonna be mighty upset.
Oh yeah, the infection... its not MRSA either. Although she did say its an infection that you normally associate with the early post-op period, and not from nearly 5 years on. So, god knows how long Ive had this infection, but Ive been fighting to get the wound sorted out for at least 2 years now, so maybe its even that long! Heaven forbid it should be from the day of the op itself, as that would be just plain crazy!
West Wing season 6 starts on "more4" tongiht. We're only a year behind so could be worse. Ive started to download season 7, but ive still yet to watch season 5! So, its not gonna make much sense when I sit down to watch it tomorrow morning!
I havent got much else to say, im not really in a talkative mood today. And besides nothing much has happened worth talking about up until I went to the doctors.
So, I shall be off. Bye for now, everyone.

Readers Thoughts
Sounds like good news to me :) *Fingers crossed* the abs work their magic, even if they only have one week. Your GP sounds like a 'good nut' (as opposed to a bad one..) so hopefully he/she will fight your corner for you with regards to the wound.
(((hugs))) and chat soon maybe.
