I HAVE TO GO BACK INTO THE HOSPITAL!!

Hi Everyone! I'm being put back into the hospital today. (Just waiting on the kids to get out of school. I have to be there about 6:00 this evening) I'm just getting worse and worse with the pain and now more pain and lots of nausea and some vomiting. So, my surgeon called me this morning and we talked and he said we're just not having any success at managing these complications on an outpatient basis. SO...........back to Hotel Baylor Hospital I go! We are going to be doing several things while I'm there. We think maybe my fibromyalgia or me being prone to chronic pain could be playing a factor. Also, I've not had lupus ruled out as a diagnosis for me so we're going to check into that as well as other autoimmune system disorders with a rheumatologist while I'm there. I'll probably be seeing an internist and I'll definitely be seeing the pain management specialist...........don't know what the game plan is there (there was talk of a pump, but don't know much more about it). I know when I first go in the plan is just IV pain meds, nausea meds, resting my stomach with just ice and liquids, and a PICC line. I'm just really really sad about this...........I can't even begin to tell you. My surgeon told me I was going to be there for somewhere around 2 weeks.......or more........so maybe, possibly you can understand my sadness. I'm going to miss my hubby and my kids SO SO much!! omg.......it makes me want to cry just thinking about it!!!! Please please, I need ya'lls support right now more than I think I ever have. All of this is just getting to be too hard on me and I'm so very frustrated! It's just me, hubby and our 4 kids and we're doing all this by ourselves. My mother lives an hour and half away from our home and 30 minutes from the hospital I'll be at and not once during my MONTHS of hospitalizations has she lifted one finger to help, visit or even CALL to check on how I was doing. All of our other family lives in TN. They care A LOT about me, but are too far away to help out, but they would if they could. I just really need my friends and their support right now. I have a feeling that this hospitalization is going to be so hard on me for many reasons with being away from my family AGAIN and not knowing what the outcome of all this is going to be. Again, please, I need you ALL right now........BIG TIME! I'm getting really tired and frustrated with this fight I've been fighting for the past 8 1/2 months of being in and out of the hospital. BUT, I'm NOT giving up.......I'm a fighter, but I'm needing a little steam to keep my engine fired up! Thanks so much to everyone, in advance, for your love and support. It means so much to me. I'll post when I get there with any updates and my hospital room number!

I am here for ya, Allie. I cannot even comprehend all you have been through. Hang in there. I just keep praying that THIS time they will get it figured out so you can be healthy and well. Post when you need to..... we will be watching.

Allie, I'm sooo sorry to hear you have to go back to the hospital! I sure hope they can find a PERMANENT solution to these problems this time! PLEASE be SURE to get us some contact info when you are able. In the meanwhile you are in my thoughts and prayers!! Pam T

You are such a strong woman, you are going through so much, hang it there. Your strength is an inspiration to all. I'll be praying the docs find a solution this time. "JUST CALL OUR NAME, WE'LL BE THERE"

Oh Allie, I am so sorry to hear this news. My thoughts and prayers are with you, my dear. I know it's so hard to have to be re-admitted, but the good news is that your problems are being taken seriously and they are working very hard on getting to the bottom of this. It's got to be done, so that you can get better, and come home to be a healthy mom and wife to your family. It'll be a very tough two weeks, but you've got to "keep your eye on the prize", which is hopefully a diagnosis and successful treatment. What if this session in the hospital ends up being the one that leads to figuring out what exactly is going on? Then it would be worth it, right? You've got to hang in there and know that you are in good hands. Please keep us posted and don't despair-things have GOT to get better! You can count on us-don't be afraid to rant, rave, cry, vent, whatever you need to do. We're here for you!

I'm so sorry you are having so much trouble. Maybe ths time they can figure out what is wrong. I forget how blessed i am, because I have been healthy so far. Take care and keep in touch. Jan

Allie, I can't even imagine all the pain & suffering you've had to go through... my heart goes out to you. You are a strong woman but everyone has a breaking point. I hope this trip to the hospital brings about a permanent solution to your problem. I for sure will be holding you up in my daily prayers. I wish I could reach out and give you a hug right now... but a cyber-hug will have to do. You will be in my thoughts & prayers... hang in there hun!
