Carla’s Fight!

CARLA’S STORY- Her Fight For LIFE…

Carla
Okay its the beginning of April so my little sister and I are shopping for bathing suits for Jamaica and we are in the dressing trying them on, when I noticed my breast was really red and warm to the touch… NOT AGAIN I said! We left right away and I called my doctor who was out of town, great! could my luck be any worse I thought?! So they gave me the doctor that takes her patients when she is away, I called and he had me come in right away. I pulled up in front of the new doctors office and Michael was waiting for me in the parking lot, we walked in and my heart was beating so fast I was so scared.

The doctor told me that things didn’t look promising and that he wanted me to go to the hospital. He told me I had time to go home and get packed and go have dinner, but I was going to be in there for awhile. The doctor called ahead to the hospital and they had a room waiting for me as soon as I got there. The put me on antibiotics via- IV and I met with the infectious diseases doctor the next day when she came to room. She said things did not look promising and if the infection didn’t clear up with the IV they had to remove the tissue expander. After 4 days on IV it was still red, I had no choice! there was NO WAY I was going to Jamaica with an infection hoping it would clear up, and if things got worse there, I would end up in a Jamaican hospital (which was out of the question). Okay…Okay… I’ll just end this quick by saying YES! I was a uni-boob bride!
