More bad news!

Jun 09, 2010

So I went in for my follow up appointment since the last hospitalization. None of the meds they put me on for the ulcer worked nor did it heal anything! The surgeon walked in and said he was reoperating that day, which was yesterday! I was admitted into the hospital and told they were doing a revisional surgery and that they would have to open me up this time. The surgeon then proceeded to tell me that he would be completely taking out my old stomach and then have to unconnect the intestine from the pouch, cut out the ulcer and then reconnect to the pouch again, which is about a 3-4 hr procedure. There was no other choice but to say OK. So I got in got all ready for the surgery and was wheeled into the operating room, when I was all ready the surgeon had called his assisting doctor and told him his wife went into labor and that we would have to reschedule the surgery. So here I am now, in pain, needing this surgery and I have to wait to get a phone call from the surgeon when it is convienent to him! Arggg.... i love my surgeon and i trust him completely but geez I want to be on my way to recovery instead of sitting here just dealing!
