Leave it to me to have this kind of luck!

On August 12 I had L4-L5 decompression/laminectomy/discectomy surgery. About 8 days after surgery, the lower part of my incision started having some bright red/clear drainage. It got worse in the next couple of days and I called my doctor
 
Oh my, you have been through the wringer. It sounRAB like you got sound advice though and it is great they called in the infectious disease doc. SounRAB like they have done everything they can to minimize the damage and get you back on the road to healing.

Be sure to take it really easy now and rest as much as you can...and then walk when you get up to use the bathroom. It is very important to give your body a chance to catch up.

Sorry this happened to you. At least you can rest easier knowing you were treated effectively and urgently.
