She had just had her gall bladder out a few weeks before and with the two operations the surgeon feared the plane ride might be a problem because of blood clots, so he opted for the medicine. Carol had him operate on her a few years ago and really trusted him. He told us that all of the patients whom he had put on drugs had never come back to him later. He said her white blood count was good, hence his suggestion and Carol's decision. He even told her that in Europe if a person had their appendix burst, they place a drain into the area to drain the liquid and still treat it with antibiotics. I also had never heard of that. All is well now and she only has a tinkling of pain when she sits and thinks about it for a few hours. Heavens, I have pain everywhere when I sit and think about it.
