Not What I Expected
posted on 12/14/09 10:00 am
Well, here I am...a week later home from the hospital, and to say it was not what I expected would be an understatement! Surgery itself went fine...so we thought. Woke up feeling great last Monday, and then Tuesday went for my dye test and all looked good, and I was started on my phase 1 clear liquid diet. About an hour into drinking liquids I started to get sick feeling...really sick feeling. So I called my nurse, who unfortunately blew me off. My vitals were taken, and I had a fever of 102.9, still I was ignored. Fell asleep and woke up an hour later in so much pain I couldn't move. This pretty much went on for 7 hours and finally the surgeon was notified. Because the pain had moved, she wanted to go back in and make sure they didn't miss anything. Unfortunately they did. I had a pin sized hole in my small bowels, and all the liquids that I was drinking wasn't exiting the right way, it was coming out through my pin hole...filling my stomach cavity with all those juices and everything. It was not a pretty sight! After the second surgery I ended up in a two day stay in ICU and was starting to feel better. So they moved me to a regular room on Thursday. But then Thursday night I ended up with really bad reflux and was throwing everything up and to top it off ended up with explosive diarrhea  but it wasn't regular diarrhea, it gave absolutely NO warning! I was messing myself left and right! It was horrible! But during all this time I never was experiencing any pain, so I wasn't taking any pain meds...so finally Saturday night I despereately needed some sleep so I took some pain meds, and slept for 6 hours straight...woke up feeling like a new woman! The stool sample they tested came back negative for anything bad, so they got that under control, and I was finally on the road to recovery! The way I should have been in the first place! So, now I am home, swollen like I never thought I'd be swollen, not just my stomach, but my hands and feet are so swollen they hurt...is this normal? Hoping to feel better day by day!
