I'm so BUMMED right now.....and an update!
Well my doctor came in here a while ago and said he was going to go over my CT scan with the radiologist. Seems maybe my remnant stomach is attached to my abdominal wall where they pulled that G-tube out. Lovely. He is going to try me on some Toradol for a couple days to see if I have any relief from that. He also may do surgery and remove the adhesions and scar tissue and the remnant stomach from the abdominal wall so I won't have this horrible pain anymore.
Now on to my 2nd bumming event. I've been here since Monday. It is now Wednesday and I haven't heard one thing from my husband. He hasn't called to check on me or anything. I don't know whether to be worried or pissed. I know he got home safely on Monday night because I saw him sign into his MSN messenger. I tried to send him a message and then it showed he immediately went offline. I've tried to call collect and he hasn't called me back. I don't know what to think. Plus I miss my kids!!!! I want to talk to my babies and I want to talk to my hubby too! I just don't know what's going on so that's why I'm really bummed. If I don't hear from him, I MAY have to do this surgery alone and he won't even know anything about it.
Well that's all I know for now. If you feel like calling, my direct room number is 214-818-5324. Thanks for continuing to support me through all of this!

Ok, first of all....im soooooo glad the doc may finally know what is causing you all of this pain! Im sorry you may have to experience another surgery, but at the same time its awesome too because you may be able to FINALLY be set free from all of this miserable pain you have had to endure!! Please keep us posted!
Ok, now.....Im not sure how to respond to the fact that your husband has not been in contact with you since you've been admitted into the hospital. I mean, i guess im just confused. Why wouldnt he come to see you?? Why wouldnt he call?? You mentioned that he had come home safely monday night....was he out of town? Do you have other family nearby who can bring the kids to see you? Im very confused Allie. Is this typical of him? or does he usually show more support? What happened when you tried to call home collect? Did he answer the phone and decline the call?
Is your hospital not local to your home? is there a reason you cant call direct from your room? Im very confused! I completely understand why you would be worried and wondering why you havent heard from him. ...maybe you can ask the nurses station if he's called. Perhaps he has been checking on you but maybe you've been asleep or with the dr. each time he's tried...??
Please get in touch with some of your friends and ask them to check on him and the kiddos. Maybe one of your friends will even be willing to bring the kids by to visit!
I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Please keep us posted.

Allie,
Although you are going through so much right now, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I can completely relate to your husband/relationship. My relationship has been getting worse and worse and I don't know what I have done wrong from one day to the next. What time can people call you until in the evening?

Allie,
I hope that you are reading this and feeling better.
You have been on our prayer chain at church and will stay there until you are healed.
Have you heard from your hubby yet?? Did he know that you were going to the hospital?
Men, cant live with them, cant live without them.
Take care and keep us informed please
Hang in there
Cindy
I feel so bad for you Allie. I have been trying to think of how to respond. Frustration must be making both you and your husband crazy. I wonder if he is just overwhelmed also by all your problems and of course by how this affects him.
I really hope that this latest update will get you in a stable kind of situation. No one should have to go through this.
Sending positive vibes your way.
