I'm home from the hospital!

Well since I really didn't feel like typing anything out yesterday........here it goes. Well, I got home yesterday afternoon after another 2 1/2 weeks in the hospital. Not too much to share really. I'm probably just still having pain from the intusseption they found the last time I was there. (My new stomach was folding in on itself.) No new tests were done since I had just been there for 3 weeks. I was basically on pain meds to be able to eat and drink....darvocet and IV dilaudid, oxycontin and IV dilaudid, then I was sent home on 12 mg. of Dilaudid by mouth. Now I get home and I have been having diarrhea practically every hour and I am feverish and feel like cow manure. I also just ate and drank for the first time since I came home (at 5pm on Thursday night!), and didn't even finish what I had (only 1 cheese stick and 8oz. of milk). GOD I really want to be 100% again. All of this sucks! I've cried twice today because I'm just SO tired.......tired of all this and tired of everything I've went through. I'm just mentally exhausted! Thanks for those that called and checked up on me while I was in the hospital. Even though sometimes I was too tired to even talk!! Too doped up was more like it! Hopefully all this is gone soon and I can function like a normal human being......*sigh* Allie

Allie, I'm SOOO glad you're home and back with your family!! That's GREAT news!! Just be sure to take care of yourself and don't try to do too much. I hope you're feeling better soon! Pam T

Thank you Pam. I'm definitely taking it easy. I don't want to end up back in the hospital again! Allie

Thank you Lisa! You are so sweet! I was eating bulky food at the hospital........well somewhat. Finally I think my diarrhea has gone away. Nothing since yesterday evening! Cross my fingers. Now my left upper quadrant is hurting like a son of a gun. I swear it never ends! Allie

My heart goes out to you hun, for all you've been thru and are still going thru. I'm glad your home and I will continue to pray that your body heals and you get on your feet once and for all and are able to start enjoying life again. You're an amazing person for hanging in there this long, I give you a lot of credit. Just keep nibbling a little soft foods as much as possible but don't overdue it. Eat what you can and don't worry about how little you are eating... it will get better eventually. Slow & steady wins the race... you're gonna make it Allie we are all pulling for you hun!

Awwww thanks Lisa! You guys are such an awesome source of support! I love this A-team! I'm pretty much just eating cheese, eggs and milk right now. Oh and banana. Need a little extra potassium. Allie

Allie, If you need potassium, drink Dasani bottled water. It has some in it....that's what I drinkl Shar
