Well sorry it has
been so long since I
have gotten back to
you. Went into
surgery on Aug 9th.
All went great. But
I was bleeding out
of my drain spot.
Not the drain,
itself. I was
nauseated very badly
and vomiting blood.
I went down for my
die test and threw
that up too. I went
back to my hospital
room. They finally
discovered I needed
to be watched more
closely and was down
in ICU by Friday
morning. By Sat
morning, they
realized after a
blood infusion (7
units of blood) I
still only had 6
units in my body!!
Ok, DYING!! So they
rushed me back into
surgery to repair
two spots that had
continued to bleed.
One was where they
incision was
(esophogas to small
intestine) and the
other spot was a
main vein inside
that had been
damaged.
WOW!! Got released
yesterday and
starting to feel
human again. I
never want to see a
bed pan again!! I
was dying without
water the whole
time. What little
things in life we
miss when we can't
have them.
I am doing great
now. Lost 7 lbs in
hospital. I am on
cream soups,
popsicles, water,
stuff like that.
Good luck in the AM
and I hope you sleep
better than I did
the night before.
Just remember to
listen to your DOC
and walk, walk,
walk, walk and then
walk some more- it
really does help!
Your in my thoughts
and prayers! See
you on the losing
side!
