HOME FROM HOSPITAL

Hi all I am home. I got home yesterday. I had to stay longer than I thought I had some bleeding in my old stomach and had to receive 3 units of blood after surgery. Glad it healed itself so they did not have to go in. Thanks for all the prayers. Will post more later. Priscilla

Welcome Home Priscilla! WOW, I had no idea you had a date! I have been MIA too much lately. I am very happy for you and congrats on making it to the other side! Karyn

((((((((((Priscilla)))))))))) You sure had a hard time of it. So glad that your skilled surgeon knew what to do to make things better for you. How long were you in the hospital? Was it open or lap?? I know you are still weak so post when you can..and as much as it may hurt, walk back and forth in your house...no running..at least not for now. Take care sweetie, you are on your way! HugsGinger

Hi I am glad to hear your surgery is over. Isnt it a relief to know you finally done it. I am sorry to hear you had complications. Thank God you had a good surgeon and that it healed itself. I will prayer for yoou to have continued healing. Take it easy and do a little walking to help with the soreness. And welcome to the losing side. love marie

Hello Priscilla! Welcome home from the hospital! So sorry to hear you had complications, but GLAD that they were able to help immediately while in the hospital. I arrived home on the 20th from my surgery. I have about 18 steristrips holding my incision shut instead of staples...funny how different surgeons do things; mine was open, too -- ran into lots of scar tissue from my radiation enteritis (from cancer treatments) and from my colostomy surgery. I wish you all the best as you continue to recover and as you have your staples and drain removed Wednesday. I didn't have a drain either -- instead I had an NG tube in for 4-5 days. Did they remove your filter after surgery or does that stay in? Take good care of yourself -- and all the best as you get to know your new pouch! Patti
