Taken to the hospital

@Pepper I hope you're feeling better by now. Update when you can.

Infection from a dressing or medication issue. Or something with the surgery?

Regardless

Get well soon times 10

I'm sorry you are feeling so badly. I'll send some prayers too:

I can understand why some people are upset and out to vilify the hospital. What we don’t know is why the medical professionals are holding back – they must have a good medical reason so let’s just take a step back. Just off the top of my head, I know opioids can slow your breathing – not good for a person who is already weak.

There's a good medical reason for letting a patient scream in pain for a day?

As for opioids, I know they can be addictive if used long enough and have side effects as all drugs do, but they are highly recommended after surgery, for extreme pain, and for infections. They were given to me after a very long surgery when I was quite weak. I was grateful to get them.

@Della - you, of course, are entitled to draw your own conclusions.. Any doctor will see that pain is managed effectively and at the same time has to take into consideration any potential for harm from certain medications. I won’t elaborate further as this is up to the doctor providing the care. Hopefully, all will right itself so the healing can progress.

I’m so sorry to learn about this. Are you not healing properly due to being diabetic? I am sending many healing thoughts your way and hope others are also. You need all the positive vibes you can get. Please hang in there (((((((Pepper!)))))))

Very sorry that you are going thru this

My Ortho. doctor told me 'it's risky' for Surgery when I fractured the heel of my right foot
because of old age.
Once getting old age, it's pretty common to get some adverse reaction to any Surgery, so he instead made 'cast' to heel my right foot. Now, almost 2 and a half month, I can walk, but not like prior to injury of my right foot. Wait to see how the things going on, until Spring, even this Summer. If not, I can live with that, staying home.
Hope get well soon and keep Update!!!

Pepper, are you getting treatment? I'd like to know what hospital you are going to. If you don't want to mention it openly here, feel free to pm me. Since I used to work in NY, I am curious.

Poor Pepper, you have gone through enough, let's hope you get the urgent attention you need. Hang in there.
