Post Thanksgiving and Other Issues

Nov 30, 2010

I know I should have posted sooner, but I have just felt crappy.

First, Thanksgiving was great with family and friends. I had no problem cooking things I cant eat for them. Didn't bother me a bit. What was frustrating was that the only thing I could eat was the Cheesecake. How weird was that. Now it was very low fat and sugar free so that helped, and it tasted great (I also didn't eat the crust). Chopped turkey wasn't even good, still had fun tho.

Now since Thursday I have been able to keep less and less down. I am even having trouble with water now. I sent today throwing up after every sip of water. I saw my doctor yesterday when I was still able to eat and drink some and he started me back to warm fluids only to see if it could help with the stricture that might be forming, but today is much worse. I called in to my doctor and I will be getting an endoscope tomorrow morning. If it is a stricture he will be able to fix it right then. What I find funny is that it is probable being cause by healing so fast. When I was at the post op class yesterday the other people in my group seem to be having incision pain still, bleeding, swelling etc. Of course some of them are eating and lifting things they shouldn't.

All I can do is wait till tomorrow and hope the IV goes in easy even tho I am a little dehydrated. For such and easy thing to fix it sure hurts a bunch.
