Update:
Wednesday morning woke up at about 3 a.m. to pee (started taking .5mg Bumex & 25mg Aldactone 2x a day Tuesday because my lower legs started to swell a lil and also to try to flush out as much of the CK from my bloodstream as possible)& when I went to get back into bed I noticed their lives some pus leakage on my pillow as well as my bed sheet from the area where my shoulder was bandaged up..
So, bout 4am decided to head to the bathroom and remove the bandages and video tape it and noticed that just putting a little bit of pressure on the bandage pus Woodstream out about as thick as a number 2 pencil and run down my tricep. So by the time I got down to the very last bandage that was covering the packing strip that was packed inside the incision hole, when I took that bandage off it also took with it the packing strip that was inside the hole.
And just by putting a little bit of pressure against the area around the whole with my phone since I was taking the bandage off with one hand and holding my phone with the other I use the phone to put pressure on the area and the amount of pus that poured out was surprising to say the least. I then had to put down the phone and use my fingers to put pressure around the hole and as many areas as I could and it squeeze out as much pus as I could which turned out to be quite a bit. I'm about two or three shot glasses worth. When I figured I had gotten as much pus as was going to come out irie bandage the thing up and went back to bed for another hour or so, debating when I woke up if I should go back to the ER and have them repack the hole or if I should just leave it be. Obviously, I just let it be.
Fast forward to last night (Friday night, bout 7pm) I took the bandages off again expecting to see more pus being drained out however there was none.... Or at least close to none, along with the incision hole was pretty much healed over.
Now, I've been dealing with excessive swelling in my lower legs much like what I dealt with after my hip surgery in August despite me bumping my diuretic doses two three times per day now half milligram bumex and 25 mg aldactone 3 times a day along with about a gallon and a half to two gallons of water per day. Yesterday and kind of slacked off on the water and only took in maybe a half gallon or so, but also took in 64 oz of Powerade (it WAS on sale for like $.62. I usually prefer Gatorade because they actually use dextrose and sugar or was it sucrose? I forget. anyways...), in addition to 44oz Gatorade... and my pee has been essentially clear if not a pale yellow. However my ankles/shins are still super-swollen (BTW, they had no swelling whatsoever on the Sunday and Monday I was admitted in the hospital), & the body aches and pains are essentially gaughan especially in my knees and thighs hamstrings glutes ET C... My lower back hurt yesterday because I was bent over mopping the hardwood floors in my kitchen, bathroom, and front entrance way but that went away pretty quick. The only thing that remains is still in my neck and my left trap.
