post four days

hey everyone, i came home on friday. It is Saturday night. Im gettin around pretty good. I think the first two days were the worst. I pray no one has contracting muscles. THey really hurt. I have cried a couple of times. For apparentally nothing that would have made me cry before. Im glad I am here and out of that hospital. The students were better than the nurses. I waited over an hour for some pain meds and an hour more when my iv came out and when the nurse did come to fix it she told me she had to get someone else to do it she hadnt had lunch and just left me there. But Dr. Baker is wonderful. I had a biopsy done on my liver. seems i have some scaring but no cancer. THank GOD. I have not felt sick or anything. My stepmom made me some potaoto soup.... it is wonderful or at least the broth from it is. Ill tell ya about the pot after monday.....lol.... i used the bathroom with ease which took alot off my mind. i feel better about the whole situation now. I hope amanda and denise are doing fine. THanks Rahbin for you that is all i have to say you know what you mean to me. God Bless You Dearly you deserve it. Well this chair is gettin aa little uncomfortable so i will go.. take care update again later. stephanie

Hey Stephanie, I'm so glad to hear you are doing so well. I didn't get around very good at all. I was in the hospital 5 days so your lucky. Oh yea I know about the muscle spasums. The first on happen when Doc. Baker come in and he didn't even really touch my bellie and I had the worst spasum. He looked at me and said I'll get you some Valuem (I can't spell this). Well the Valeum, Helped a whole lot. As far as being sick, Girl let me tell ya I was trying to through up. it was awful. There were a lot of things the first week I couldn't tolerate. But it has been about 2 weeks and things are a lot better. I just have problems with that darn full feeling. well time to go. I get kind of craped if I set here to long. Hugs Debbie

Stephanie, I hope you are feeling better. It sounds like you have had a rough time. I didn't know anything about the muscle spasms. I wonder if this is a common problem. Sorry to hear that you received poor care at the hospital. What floor were you on? I am sending positive thoughts your way for a speedy recovery. Take care. B
