Hello everyone, I'm home again, hopefully for good this time.
They went back in and went straight into the socket causing the problem. Seems the whatever they packed the socket with originally, tilted sideways and wasn't doing it's job and infecting. Repacked it with gel foam and restitched yet again. So far so good. Stop the lovenox altogether and take only Coumadin.
They gave me 2 units of plasma again and a Iron transfusion. They didn't want to give the blood and push clotting of my valve, so there making my body be in charge of cell replacement. I'm very tired, weak, just not with it yet.
I called my damn insurance company before going anywhere and asked the nurse on call what I should do and she said to go back to Mercy and if anything was said to tell them that it was an emergency and Mercy was closer. When I called Aultmans ER, they told me that there was nothing they could do for me, that I'd have to return to my dentist to have it taken care of, so to me, it looked pretty clear that returning to Mercy was the right thing to do, but I know right now just by how many times the financial councilor showed up that I'm going to have a fight on my hands shortly.
I have a ton of notifications from the forums, so if someones problem isn't addressed by Hank or Michelle before I get back in the saddle, it will be soon. I'm just not able to concentrate longer then a minute on things right now, so I'm not going to try and make judgment calls or go fixing things right now.
Thank you all for your prayers, contributions, and everything. I'll need all the help I can get. This thing has devastated us. I'll write more later.
