This post is a copy paste of what I posted on my own support group site. I’m too tired to do another one.

too cool.

I just got off the phone with Shahinian.
I am now about 12 days post op.

This last Tues a drip started at the base of the last staple.

I thought it was csf, wasnt sure. Called SBI, talked to Matt, said he would get back to me with a ossible prescription.
Waited.
Waited.

He called back, left a msg to see if still dripping, left a number to call.
I called direct to Shahinians right hand person (roxy) because they wanted to call meds in directly to my locl po-dunk town walgreens.
I call Walgreens today at 3-still no meds.

So I call the SBI on call service and pushed the number that corresponds with an “Emergency”.
A lady takes my name and number and number to the pharmacy.
I hang up.

Ring Ring

Shahinian on the phone.
asks if have temperture, how long dripping and how drips.
Tells me I am going to get a refill of the cipro and another med to attend to the drip.

He explained the tumor was so big that the space is still being filled and the wound needs to drain.
He then said He was going to call it in and call me back.

Hangs up.

I kinda chuckled knowing he was going to call walgreens and get the press 1 for spanish, and all the submenus needed to get into the right menu to do a presc order in.

10 mins later he calls on his cell telling me its done, and to call him back on Mon-tues and send high rez fotos of the wound.
He said that the staples shouldnt come out on Monday as previously planned.

I then mentioned I see my local ENT to get the staples out This coming Friday-he was stern and direct and said I am not do to anything till he sees the images and talks to me on Tues.

I was very impressed with him not forgetting about me and keeping me under watch from afar-especially taking the time to call me at 8pm on Sat NIGHT! Cool

Very impressed

Addendum 2 hrs later.

Just got back from Walgreens
Have refill of Cipro Antibiotic and
