Vast Improvement

I started on Cipro on Tuesday evening and started the sitz baths on Wednesday morning. By Thursday morning my labia looked far better. The swelling had reduced and there was decreased discharge. I had a checkup with my primary care physician and she was encouraged by what she saw. She was especially concerned that I could develope areas of abscess which would require treatment. Luckily, that's not the case. Even with the improvement I'm finding it uncomfortable to sit. Yesterday I ended up leaving work early because I was just too uncomfortable. I headed home so that I'd be able to get in 4 sitz treatment (rather than the two per day I'd been doing), recline instead of sitting upright, and spend some hours without underware. It was my hopes that one day of treating my bottom especially well would go a long way towards allowing me to get through the next day at work. So far today the discomfort is about the same but I've managed to adjust my chair and monitor to allow me a more reclined position, better on my bottom but not so great on my neck.
