Last Friday I went to another hospital to get a second opinion on my foot. I just felt like it wasn’t really improving so I figured it wouldn’t hurt to have someone else look at it.
I went to a hospital close to my apartment. As soon as the surgeon saw it he told me it was infected and that I needed to be admitted. I ended up staying in the hospital for 3 nights. They put me on an IV and injected me with some really strong antibiotics. I can already tell the swelling has gone down. I have to continue going in everyday to have the foot rebandaged until I meet with the surgeon again on the 24th.
I will not be going to the original hospital again since this one is much more professional. They took really good care of me - The surgeon looked at my foot twice a day and there was always a nurse popping in and out to see how I was doing. I am on completely different anitbiotics now which I will be taking daily until everything looks good.
The visit took a big chunk out of my savings so I need to find more work - FAST
