Really Rough Ppst-op and complications

First a warning, I'm tablet typing and even with glasses on, I can hardly see the letters thru the pain medicine haze.

 had my surgery on April 7th - so Thursday--having been living in a very large amount of pain. And I would love to get out and I were going to have any water and I was feeling very queasy and I started throwing up blood. Apparently he using me as a committed news followed by several days of Lovenox injections, my blood was not willing to try and play fair. So I went from hemoglobin of 12 to 7.2 hemoglobin in a matter of hours and there wasn't enough in my stomach TO account for that three four points wherever it is 5 Points difference.

 

 my surgeon is the surgeon my surgeon is a surgeon on call this weekend, and he came to see me today. Whenever I had my spleen out when I was a child I have had a lot of time for scar tissue to build up in my abdomen. And the part where my stomach my abdomen hurts the worst is actually as far from the stomach as possible. So it looks like about 4 or whatever Pine-Sol have a part of him as your blood is in my lower belly now settled there and it's very very painful. But there is a  a smaller leader within a new sleeve or else I wouldn't have this led to some of that. So it was like all of this what is being lost through old scar tissue that is just continuing to lose you my abdomen.

 

 so so for my birthday. Dash which was Friday Dash I had no liquids that I wasn't allowed to get up. We tried to get me up and I think it so I've been confined to bed since then. Haven't had anything to drink today either I'm living on mouth swabs and biotin spray. And taking injections for nausea and pain medicine as well as they're running so it's not stop and I have a catheter something is wrong with me if anything passes.

All that said, I'm probably not getting out on Sunday. It's possible but probably not it's probably more realistic to consider that I'll be getting out on Monday or Tuesday. So I just wanted to give an update and explain where I've been. I don't type very well the tablet, and I'm sure that the speech to text program function whatever it is on my Android tablet is picking wild the wrong words anyway so good luck and let me do this exclamation point hope to see you all soon.

What a bummer birthday! Biotin doesn't sound like much of a celebration. :(  But... just think how wonderful your birthday will be next year!!!!  Once you're recovered from this surgery, hopefully it will be smooth sailing and the beginning of this incredible journey.

Wishing you a speedy recovery! Let us know how you're doing. Hang in there! :)
