Since the wound care doctor packed my wound on Monday, all my chronic ailments relating to the pain in my back came back. It was excruciating. But, when I saw the wound care doctor on Wednesday and he took off the bandage (which caused a bunch of pus to come out) and removed the packing, I gradually started to feel better and stronger. He said that since the wound was packed and the wound was basically taped and sealed, the pus had nowhere to go, so it built up pressure and that was causing my pain. This thing is going to take longer than I thought. I had to make appointments with them for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of next week. He said he would probably be applying a wound VAC to the wound. Oh, there’s still a concern I could be leaking spinal fluid, so I will see my neurosurgeon about that today.
