I visited the wound clinic this morning for the first time since finding those tunnels.  They repacked it with Accuzyme, more from my last visit's records it seemed than from anything specific the doctor or PA had ordered.  Every time I go in, it's different.  They were supposed to take my picture, too, but they forgot.  One of the nurses was nice and entertained my kids with some bubbles they had there, which was a big help.
 
The Accuzyme hurt really bad, so I sat around the house most of the day.  It also upped the drainage even more than it had been.  I've been wearing a cloth diaper folded up in my pants all day, to soak up the drainage.  I think I've gone through more diapers today than my baby son has.
 
By this afternoon, I started feeling really strange.  I felt very achy and crampy and sore all over, as if I had the flu but without any other flu symptoms.  I wasn't running a fever, though.  I kept checking my temperature, but it never got over 99.3.  Then I noticed that all that discharge had an very distinct, strong, sweet smell.  I didn't think much of it for a while, because I know that Accuzyme is made from papaya extract, so maybe that was causing the smell.
 
After the kids went to bed, I finally looked it up, and found some nasty infections that could be causing that specific smell with all the discharge and achiness.  So I called the doctor.  Instead of wanting me to come in right away, though, which I half expected, he said to meet him at the hospital in the morning when he was doing his rounds.  So I'll be off tomorrow to see what's going on.
