And the results are in.....

And the disgustingly gross weeping was due tooooo..... STAPH! I'd hate to say I told them so, but I did say I thought it was getting infected when they thought it looked fine still :-)

I'm glad I know my body well enough to know when something is wrong, and I was able to get antibiotics before the infection really even took hold.

Now that everything is getting back to normal and I'm starting to get more sleep, I can start getting back into the walking again and look at slowly building endurance. 2 more weeks and my sternum should be fully healed and I can drive again. Yay!
