A whole lot has happened
Apr 14, 2009
Since the last time I wrote bad things have happened. On 12-20-08 I was pretty much considered dead. Only because of the timing of 911 and smart choices at two hospitals and the surgery of a wonderful doctor I am alive. My small intestine and bowel ruptured and filled my body with bacterial infection. I was in ICU from the 20th-27th then on a surgery floor until 01-01-09. I went home for two days and was re-admitted for total dehydration. I was in the hospital for a total of 17 days. I lost 30 LB's during that time. Because of the dehydration I lost ALL of my muscle and any fat. I had to learn to walk again. I still don't do steps well. I have been having problems with eating now. If I take one bite of anything I am beyond sick, passing out and in a lot of pain. I had a scope down the throat and was told I had a very bad ulcer. Was put on meds but nothing has helped. Someday I will hopefully get better. Just to let you know, my gastric bypass surgery had nothing to do with it rupturing. I had fallen on the ice about two weeks before and that might have had something to do with it. On 12-20-08 I weighed 200 LB's. Now I weigh 151 LB's. I started at 316 and my surgery was July14,2008. I need to find a way to put on muscle fast. I am nothing but skin and very boney. Any clues on how to do this? Barb
