Back from the hospital as of a week ago.  I now have a feeding tube in my intestines and a drain in my side that drains off whatever leaks out of my stomach.  I cannot drink or swallow ANYTHING.  I am constantly hungry because the feeding tube does not go to my stomach.  They tell me this will speed up the healilng process and I pray that it will.  

I am not sick at my stomach anymore and that has been a blessing.  I am supposed to get about 1,500 calories a day through my tube (I'm on a feeding machine) but it is hard to get that much Ensure in, in one day but I'm trying.  

I WILL GET THROUGH THIS!
