Well, today is Sunday, Sept. 14, 2008. I have been in the hospital since Wednesday night due to a bowel obstruction. I ate some cornbread and about 5 tator tots at 9pm on Wednesday night. About 9:30 my stomach started to hurt really bad so I went to lie down. After 2 hours and considerable pain still, I decided that I needed to go to the hospital. Sean called my mom to come and take me. We got to the hospital about midnight. I was given a CAT scan of my bowels and admitted to the hospital for a bowel obstruction. They weren't sure wether it was partial or complete so I wasn't allowed anything to eat and an NG tube was put in through my nose and into my stomach. This pumped out anything that made it into my stomach. This was very uncomfortable and it kept making me gag. The tube was left in from Thursday night until Saturday afternoon. It came out Saturday and I was allowed a clear liquid diet. Man, I tell you that chicken broth hasn't tasted so good since February. For lunch I had chicken broth, a couple bites of orange jello, and some grape icee. After lunch I took 2 tylenol w/codiene with water and was almost instantly violently ill. Only foam with the tylenol w/codiene taste. I took a nice 3 1/2 hour nap. For dinner I had vegetable broth and cherry jello. I started to feel 200% better as soon as the tube came out. I said, "I can swallow and blow my nose now. Yea!!". Today they unhooked my IV and I will be able to have pureed foods for supper. Breakfast was Cream of Wheat, orange sherbert, coffee, diet soda. Lunch was Cream of tomato, oatmeal, chocolate ice cream. Well, my mom and daughter are here to see me. I should be released tomorrow.
