Hey peeps

Im still kicking I guess. Had a couple of trips to the ER this weekend, the last one landing me an overnight stay for observation. Too tired to go into details but just wanted to let you all know Im still hanging in there and trying to make it through this big change in my life. Could use some prayers if you have any to spare.

Hugs to you Mellie... hope it all works out soon.

Hey Mellie:

Prayers going up for you!  Hope you are better soon!

You got it! Prayers and warm wishes heading your way!

Oh, jeez, Mellie!!!  WHAT is going on?  You can PM me here or through FB - let me know if there's ANYTHING I can do.

Hang in there, love,

Tia

Ill try to make a long story short. Remember last week I was having bad upper back pain. Well by Saturday I couldnt get a deep breath. Went to the ER and they scanned me and sent me home with pain meds. By Sunday I could barely breathe and was so dizzy and lightheaded I could hardly walk. Also the pain has moved around to my left side right under my rib cage. They scanned me again and determined that I was dehydrated. My bp was low 76/20, and they couldnt get it to come back up so they kept me overnight and pumped me full of fluids. I have a headache today from lack of sleep in the past 2 days and im nauseated beyond belief. Im taking Reglan for that and trying to force myself to eat and drink. Im just overall tired and worn out. Im a bit depressed too and feeling like ive made a huge mistake and wishing I had never done this. Sorry didnt mean to dump on you guys but this is so not what I thought it was going to be.

No, sweetie, dump away, that's what we're here for.

Unfortunately, not everyone's journey is as easy as others, but hopefully, as long as you and the doctor stay on top of this, it will pass and you won't have anymore issues.

Of course you're depressed!!!  I'm sure, mentally and physically, you feel as though you've been run over by a truck.  Hopefully, if you can stay hydrated, you'll feel better.

Again, PLEASE try to stay on top of it.  If you need ANYTHING, just call one of us or give a board shout out - a LOT of people have been there!!

Hugs,

Tia

I'm sorry to hear you are having problems, Mellie.  That's not typical, but not rare for a lap surgery, either.  I hope you feel better soon.

Terri
