To add onto my initial post. I had a left front tooth damaged/broken at 12 years old. Boarding school accident, face first onto the dorm floor. Trying to get the longest slide on a travelling rug. Fast forward 40 odd years. Tooth came out broke the post...sooo emergancy dental work.
Tooth pulled...
So any who, the infection went away but valves were badly damaged, supposed to get stronger but only had 5 days left on this earth. Surgery soon followed. New mechanical Aortic and Mitral valves... Wooo Hooo! Stay tuned for fun post op happenings😀😀😀
Part 2:
Finally went to the hospital, Infectious Disease Doc. Admitted right away via the ER. After 3 days in ICU...they started treating me with massive doses of antibiotics for endocarditas.
2 weeks of IV amoxcillin and gentamicin plus a pic line and more antibiotics as an out patient.
Please forgive me....long time..3 months lurker..first post here. Love the collective knowledge.
Sooo... Started feeling under the weather October 2018, visited my regular Dr. Lots of blood work then PET scans, MRI and even a visit to an Oncologist/Hemotologist. No clear answer except white...
