My sweetie is sick
I just got home from the hospital, I have been there since monday. Friday Rita got sick to her stomach, she woke up sat. and was feeling just fine, I thought she caught the flu bug that has been going around here. Well monday comes around and she goes to work (feeling ok). Well I get a call from her work place, she works for the state (DFS). They say she is very sick, throwing up etc. She said she would try to get home. She works about 50 miles away. Well she gets about 10 miles from her work and can not get any farther. She calls me up and she needs to get picked up, she is at one of those road side rest areas. Well I'm on call so I have someone cover my shift for me. I get to her and she can't hardly move, she is pucking big time and has started pucking blood, well the old EMS instints kick in. and I take her to the ER. The doctor on call has her transfered with no hestitation to Sedallia, Mo. (Bothwell Reg. Health Center). We tryed to Air-Evac her out but the weather has them socked in. So she went in an ambulance. To make a long story short(er) what happen was she sprung a small leak and her bowel had some how gone up and got stuck and about 1/2 of it was blocked. Tues they went in a fixed it up. She is very stable now and doing better, her pulse was about 180 before the operation, BP was normal and her extremines was cold and abdoman was hot, and her kidneys was starting to fail. She is still at Bothwell, she will be getting out of CCU tomorrow and getting a regular room on the 3rd floor. I go on call tomorrow and will not be off till Wends morning at 0600. Now the lesson learned here for all of my friends here who have had the Bypass done (She had her's May 18th), if you are sick get to the ER (stat) Well that is all for now I will keep you all updated
