Hello all my OH friends

Things have been going pretty good...
a few weeks ago i was back in the hospital for 4 days. i was having bad pain on my left side and i was un able to keep any fluid or food down. Dr Swains, nurse Jen told me to get strait to the er and she will let them know i was on my way... Got there and i was dehydrated severely... The worse part was i did not have a private room so i had to stay alone..yes i know I'm 24 years old...but heck i still wanted my mom or hubby there..the first night was horrible.....i was in so much pain on my left side i was crying and kept going threw hot blankets because i was so cold, and it was a crazy night.. so they had me take a ton of test the next couple of days. i had to do a swallow test...do not ever want to do that again...the stuff they made me drink was horrible also they had me drink to much..and i told them i couldn't drink anymore..and i ended up throwing up on myself...gross huh....but the test came back good a little swelling nothing to worry about....then the next day they had me to do a ct scan of my belly... and that showed i had a blood clot sitting right on my new pouch and it was rubbing on it and with me being dehydrated and that pain it was horrible...however after 9 bags of iv fluid and things were getting i got to go home... and everything has been doing great since.... I've been working really really really hard at getting all my water in.. I've been exercising and just being happy!! Its been really hard for me to get my protein in ... that's only been my down fall but I'm still working on it....
