Hiding

Hello everybody!

I have not been into the forums here in a while and when I decided to check in today I had a couple of messages asking for updates....so....

It has been a really rough road and I have just been hiding.  When I had surgery, I had a leak due to staple issues - they all came out - and had to have the surgery redone the following day. My body did not react well to that and I spent a few days in ICU. I have continued to have problems with my heart rate (too high) and my blood pressure (too low, even off all meds). My blood sugar acts like the Scream  Machine - waaaay up and waaay down at lightning speeds. So, I have very little energy and I am always dizzy. Today I was diagnosed with pneumonia and probable anemia. At least it wasn't the blood clot in my lung that my PCP was afraid that it was!

Regrets? Not yet. Still waiting this out. I have lost 32 pounds, which I am happy about since I have trouble even taking a shower without a nap afterwards, let alone walking a full 30 minutes. I think my body will eventually figure this thing out and get with the program.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. I appreciate them and I am very happy for my friends here who seem to have done so much better than me at recovery. You keep it up, girls!

Hi, you've been missed on the boards..Sorry to hear about the complications you are having. Hope you are feeling better soon.

Dang girl, I didn't know you were gong through so much. Do you need an Angel to come by the house and help with housework, etc.?

I wish you had told us sooner you were still having a hard time. I had no idea.

This is so sad to hear, since we all statrted together and I feel a special bond with you. When something bad happens to one of us shbp people I feel like part of me is hurting too!

How did all your staples come loose??? I never heard of that. Was the machine broken or something?


I am glad you still have a fighting spirit. You will get through this, and will have a testimony to lift up others in the end.

I am praying hard for your recovery.
