Dear all,
I friend of mine had her first surgery to correct kyphoscoliosis, hemivertebrae and fractured vertebrae on 22 Dec 2008. last week she noticed the pain wasn't diminishing and was pretty sick. One morning she woke up with sheets beneath her soaking wet! She hurried to see her surgeoin and he said that was probably an intrahospital wound infection.
The swab confirmed the surgeons suspicions! It's an infection. He cleans her wound every day and he is thinking about reopening her to clean the wound.
She has been in hospital for 7 days now and she is a real mess! I don't know how to help her or what to say to encourage her since I haven't had a surgery ! Maybe you could tell me how the recovery period after this compication looks like, how long it lasts, what she can expect and so on....
Thanx a lot,
ana
