Beginning on My Path to Normality

Nov 04, 2013

We left Tijuana this morning. I'm happy to be out of Tijuana, but mostly because I want that chapter of my life behind me. 

Everything seemed to be going so well when I left the hospital. I was happy to be in my hotel room and sipping my water and Gatorade. Then during the night - about 2 am I woke with a fever of 103, tachycardia, trouble breathing and diarrhea. I went back to the hospital and they put me on intervenous antibiotic and something to bring my fever down. I was ready to go back to the hotel by noon. The doctor said this was just a way for my body dealing with the trauma. (Or maybe I came into contact with some germs). 

I feel pretty good today. I have a crampy kind of pain near the site where the drain was. It comes and goes like a cramp you get when you're exercising.  My stomach hurts a little bit, but not anywhere neat what I expected considering they cut out 80% of it. I have some energy, and I wanted to walk, but my husband made me stop after a couple of blocks. I'm too fat for him to carry me back.
