Surgery is Monday 21st
I'm home!!!!!!
My surgery went well. It was able to be done laparoscopically. I went home Christmas Eve.
Feeling somewhat nauseous. I felt much better Christmas Day afternoon after a nap.
Saturday I took a downturn and felt really sick, nausea, black diarrhea, abdominal pain.
I went to the ER on Sunday AM, after being there 8 hours they decided to keep me. They diagnosed a G.I. bleed. I've had to be on warfarin and Lovenox due to previous pulmonary embolism. In the hospital Sunday night to Tuesday night. My blood work shows improvement.
I feel pretty good now except for very little energy. No pain, not much difficulty with wanting
to eat. I'm very grateful to be home and have the G.I. bleed stop, That was a bit scary.
Tomorrow I start pureed food. I'm looking forward to more variety and something a little more substantial. I missed Christmas food but keep telling myself I am not giving up so much as gaining health. I'm trying to think about all the options I'll have not the restrictions. I'm sure those difficult days will come sooner than I'd like. For today my heart and head are in the right place. Today is the first day I didn't ask myself-"What in the world did I do to myself?"
I've had a bit of sadness.
Thanks for all your notes of encouragement.
