I went into the ED last night and after a 4 hour wait they put me into a temporary bed where i stayed the night. The hospital staff hooked me up with antibiotics through a drip and said i'd have surgery early the next morning.
Got moved to the short stay unit at about 5.30am and was expected to go in about 9am or 10am. The surgeon came through to see me and it turns out the IV antibiotics seem to be doing what the tablets weren't and the infection is looking a bit better.
They came to the conclusion that they could probably save the port... Thus avoiding surgery Yay! They gave me a local and opened the wound the whole way up. Put somethig in to avoid it closing and chucked a dressing on it. They want me to stay here for a couple of days on the IV so i'm looking at leaving some time on Sunday. :)
