unexpected hospital stay
02/20/2006 I don't even know where to start. Let's try last Monday I ended up in the hospital for 5 days with a blocked bowel. This was not fun at all. I was on shots of duloided (sp) every 2 hours for the pain. I never thought they where going to let me out. Friday morning about 3:30 am things started to move again and the pain subsided .They finally let me go home Friday afternoon I don't wish this on my worst enemy. I was so glad to get home. My husband and Mother were the best during all of this. It was a comedy of error's my whole stay. My surgeon Dr.Galvin was stuck in Florida unable to get home because of the big storm that hit the east coast he came home Thursday night and I left the hospital Friday am. The nurses on my floor could not understand that I could not have any sugar and all my meal trays had on them that I could eat was broth for the first few days till I ask to speak with someone from dietary. This is the some hospital I had my surgery in only 4 months ago. All I keep saying is I want a baratric clear tray I know you have them please bring me one. When I was put on solids again the first thing they brought my to eat was a blueberry muffin and cranberry juice which of course I could not eat finally the called my nut and had her come down and plan a menu for me the day before I was released. I blew out 4 IV"s that was a lot of fun.
All I can say is better day's are coming. I am now down 115 lbs and weigh in at 260 lbs
ohhh that sounds terrible. I hope you are feelin better. I had the same problem in hospital. I told them i was a bariatric patient and they brought me hambuger with bun,chips,a piece of cake and a diet coke. I think we need some people trained for our after care program like to no what we can't have. Thats alot of weight gone,i bet you feel better.......vickie r.
Dawn, I'm so sorry to hear about your hospital stay and bowel troubles. Sounds like you were in a lot of pain!!! I'm real glad you were able to get through it without surgery. Also glad to see you are back home! I pray that you never have to go through anything like that again!
Congratulations on the weight loss so far - that's pretty incredible!!
Much love from Miami, Carol
