I AM FINALLY HOME!!!!!!!!

I ended up being in the hospital from Wednesday through Sunday..My blood count went down to 22 and I bled during surgery..But instead of bleeding out I bled into my intestine..Which the drs didn't see..So by Thursday I was on the toilet all day crapping old blood..Ended up with 2 pints of blood(transfsuion)on Friday and had to stay untill my levels leveled off..When I came home yesterday it had evened out to 28..I am a little lightheaded every once in a awhile but other than that I am just trying to get in all my liquids and pudding..Which is easier said than done..I get really full feelings when I drink water but have no problems with popcycles..I ended up with 17 staples all spaced out to 5 different sites..(3,3,3,4,4)am absolutely exstatic about being home..Missed my son,husband and furbabies not to mention the rest of my family..My husband was so scared yesterday that he watched me like a hawk...So far I have dropped 10 lbs since surgery..I am not going to obsess with the scale but was curious on the weightloss so far due to the blood loss..Am very tired and have a numbing sensation on on part of my stomach..Is that normal?? Havent had the chance to ask surgeon yet but will wed at my post op appt..Ttyl gen

Hey Gen, Welcome home. Wow, what a nightmare for you. The best thing now is a lot of rest and your water and protein, etc. Good luck on your recovery. Hugs - Robin

Welcome home Gen, I know you're happy to be home because after a while you get use to the hopital(nurses coming in the room)schedule and don't get any rest.Boy you had a rough time in the hospital get plenty of rest and lots of fluid. Well it good your home. Smooches Claire
