A Pain in the ...

Mom is back in the hospital. She has continued to have pretty good pain and at her check up they thought maybe it was an infection. She was started on antibiotics and was told to call back if it didn't get better. Well a week later the pain hasn't gotten any better so went in to see the doc. They found some fluid pooled near her tailbone and needed to drain it. I assume this is normal but too much for her body to absorb. To drain it they needed to put her under and open her up again and also place a drain in her abdomen. She is on some good pain drugs as well and is resting. The doc said she could possibly stay a couple days to allow for healing and better drugs than would get at home.
She could maybe use a visitor but please call first.
