At home and grateful

I am so glad to be home from the hospital. They treated me well there, I just didn't get much sleep. I am so glad to be in my bed with my cats to keep me company. I missed my girls while I was gone. I am also grateful for all the support that has been shown to me. This group, the PA forum, and my friends on all accounts have been so supportive of me. God has shown me how awesome His love for me is through all of you. Thanks again, Trish

Welcome home. I did not sleep in the hospital either. I glad you are home. I am only four days ahead of you and can say each day gets better. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Hi Trish! I am so happy you are home and doing well. Today is a slow day for me. The gas has gotten better but I am feeling a little sluggish today. Maybe it is the fact that my mother is here...I really appreciate the help, more than I can say but the stress of having her here is getting to me. Going to take a nap now. Traci

Trish~ I hear you on that! I was so glad to come home! My room mate at the hospital was about 80 years old and was bed ridden, she was not a gastric bypass patient, she had fallen a few days before that and they put her in the hospital. Well, since she was bed ridden, and the nursed didn't want to come in and give her the bed pan every 5 minutes she wore a diaper all day and night. The first night she had to drink a GALLON of some bowel prep stuff for a colonoscopy the next morning, and they started that at 10pm. She finished it a 4am. It was awful, the poor thing lived in her own waste, they came in and threw all the lights on every hour to change her and bathe her. The second day they discovered she was severely anemic. So they started giving her massive doses of iron, which binds you. To counteract that they started giving her sorbitol shots, which give you the sh*ts! I was sick to my stomach most of the time at the hospital, not because I was sick, but because of the constant smell. I couldn't wait to get home and sleep with the lights off and not have to "smell that smell" my every waking moment. I am just remembering how happy I am to be back at home! michelle
