I'm back home from hospital (but still very much in pain)

You mean...your health insurance won't cover any kind of home care? OMG.

If it covers an ambulance, you might want to seriously consider going to Emergency.

Why you weren't given antibiotics is beyond me!

Oh, Kirsten, I hate to second guess a medically trained person, but one would think that you would have been given antibotics in a situation like this. I know when you are in pain it is hard to even think. I'm inclined to agree with Catty, a trip to the ER might be in order. At least that way another doctor would have an opinion on how is should be treated.

Kirsten I am sure there is a doctor on emergency service. And your mom must come home at some time. Can't you call her one her mobile- I really think you need someone at home right now.

I would go to the ER.
I cant believe a doctor would release you knowing there was no one there to help you out & not sending an antibotic home or pain medication is pure stupidity on your doctors part.
Please call him and get in his face, you need help and fast.

Sorry that you are still hurting.Can you maybe call whoever brought you home and tell them what's going on? I am very surprised they gave you no
RXs to take home.

Kirsten, I'm so sorry to hear that you're still in so much pain and that your incisions are also infected.

Please call someone to come over and help you. Can a neighbor help you?

I also can't believe that you weren't sent home with any pain meds and that now that your incisions are infected that you weren't given any antibiotics.

I think that if I was you that I'd also consider calling a doctor or even going to the emergency room. You really shouldn't be home alone right now. You need some time to heal before doing any normal daily activities. Please take care.

My one contact in Ansbach didn't work out, but I PM'd a lady on the Hystersisters board who is from Germany, and put out an ABP in their Europe section and in the general post-op section...I hope someone replies soon.

Maybe her mom is there....maybe she is at the hospital?

If anything happens to her, the family should sue! Sorry, I am just angry about the lack of follow-up.

I think that Dr should have his testes removed and left to fend for himself for a number of days without painkillers! (Sorry, I am NOT being nice right now...

)

I hope Kirsten is ok....
