I haven't been on in awhile
Mar 31, 2012
So, sorry about that. Well....its been a bumpy ride so far. I think I haven't blogged much because I am usually on my tablet, the laptop seems soo heavy after using my tablet. And typing from there is a beast lol! But anyway...I am still struggling with my wound healing. It's getting there. I saw the doctor yesterday and he told me just to start going more shallow when I am packing the wound. WAIT....let me BACK UP!!!When I got out of the hospital the first time, I had to go back. I was in excrutiating pain. EMERGENCY!!! I couldn't even get up to move or anything. My son & husband called the ambulance for me. So, they had to do a CT scan and found "fluid" under my skin. Now, they didn't know if it was blood..which if it was, then it would re-absorb into my blood stream OR it was an infection. So, I had to stay at the hospital 3 more days with that. When I was released, because I was able to at least move, I went home and PUS started coming out of my larger, main incision. So.....ding ding ding...we got our answer!!! Well...I went to the Dr and he had to OPEN UP THE INCISION. Ouch!!! And since then, I have had to change the packing inside the wound daily and take antibiotics. I have been really tired, dizzy, haven't been able to walk much because I was always in pain. But now..I'm getting better.
Sooo...back to what I was saying. I went to the mall yesterday. The walk felt good. I am going back today as well because my doctor wants me to start moving around a little more. I think that it will make me lose weight better too. I have only lost like 26 pounds so far...which to me isnt really a lot. I know some people drop it fast but for me, not so :( I am trying not to get discouraged and I think I am attributing the slow loss to my 2nd stint in the hospital. All those iv's and stuff. Plus, the infection. But since I am feeling better, I am going to try to get out more.
Well...I'm done for now. Will try to be on OH more now that I am feeling a bit better.
