Home from hospital and another surgery

I am still having complications since last time i wrote. Had surg In Aug for necrcotic adhesions, fistula, ulcer, partial gastrectomy(removal of orginal stomach, and take down and rebuilding of new pouch and partial removal of intestines and reattachment to pouch. Well I never recovered. continued to lose weight even with g tube feedings( tube into the old stomach with formula feeds) Went into the hosp the 19th of Aug for complete bowel shut down. It was not mechanical but functional and I was so diteneded I actually looked like I was 15 months pregnant. After 10 days they finally got everthing moving again and now I need to see more specialists to find out out whats causing it. While in the hosp. my blood sugars kept bottoming out even with IVS and they had to keep giving me stratight dextrose IV and my Graves disease(thyroid) went completely haywire. To add insult to injury I also have a abdominal wound infection.I am finally home after almost 2 weeks. I am now again on TPN IV continous and am back up to 119 lbs, should be @ 135 plus. Still on nausea meds, zofran at $1500 for 50 pills and can still only take very minimal by mouth. What a nightmare. But I am also like the energizer bunny and just keep going. Just thought I would give an update.

Oh Janette, you poor thing! I can't believe you're going through all of this - yes, truly a nightmare only you're awake. Your attitude is great - keep going girl, because you need to keep on trying. They'll get it right!! I'm praying that you've seen the worst of it and things will start going uphill from here on in. If there's anything I can do for you please let me know. I'm sending lots of healing thoughts and prayers!!!!! Love and hugs, Nancy

Janette, I'm so sorry that you're still having such a rough time. Did they get your sugard and your Graves worked out? I wonder why everything bad happens at once? Is it because one problem causes all the others? Hopefully they will soon have you completely figured out so that you can be healthy once again. I hope you turn the corner soon! Pamela

Janette, I can't even tell you how sorry I am you are going through all this. I pray for you all the time, it breaks my heart. I know I don't come on much anymore but I think of you all the time and pray for your health and will continue to do so. No one should have to go through this. I'm so so sorry. Do you have help at home? Your in my prayers. Deejay
