Still Leaking

Jun 15, 2009

Well, I have been NPO since May 10th and it is now June 15th.  The not eating thing has not bothered me too much in the past but I am beginning to get an appetite now.  Hopefully this is a sign that I am healing.  My doctor has gone in through an EGD twice to try to glue the hole in my stomach shut but so far has not worked.  On the positive side my drainage has reduced from about 250 cc a day to 150 cc a day, so maybe it has sealed up a little bit.  We are going to try to glue this thing again next week.

I am really tired of having a feeding tube and a drain, I am tired of not being able to taste food but I am trying to remain positive and busy.  My energy increases a little day by day and I am trying to do a little each day to get my energy up.  I do feel like this beautiful summer is passing me by.
