Home again!

Hello friends. How are you all doing? I'm home and sore. Friday night on the 4th, about 11pm I woke up from a sleep with the worst pain I'd ever had. My mom took me to ER up in Munster,Indiana. THey figured out I had a perforation from the CAT scan they did. I gave them Dr. Inman's card, and they got ahold of Dr. Huse. He had they send me to St. V's in Carmel. I went by helicoptor, and Dr. Huse was ready to meet me when I got there. It turned out to be a perforation in an ulcer I had developed (without even knowing it.)THey did surgery SAtruday morning, and I just got home today. I tell you, if it's not one thing it another for my family. 

OMG, I am sooo sorry. I didn't even know you were in the hospital. Are you good as new? Glad to hear from you. Shanna

I was tired from just getting home when I put in the last message, so it was short. But yes, I think I'm going to be good as new. They took good care of me up there. I am now on carafate and protonix possibly indefinately, but that would be worth it not to hurt again. This is my first real complication, but it sure scared me.

Im so glad you are okay. Hopefully things get better for you soon. You take care of yourself..

Linda, I am so sorry to hear of your recent ordeal.  You are right, you and your family have certainly been through the wringer!!  Glad to hear they were able to get to the root of the problem so quickly and you are doing better.  Rest and take care.  Peg E.

I am glad to hear you are feeling better.  I know the ulcer pain and its not fun. But to have it along with perforation, would just not be any fun at all. Hang in there!

Linda, I am so glad that you are feeling better after the ordeal that you had to go through. You remain in my prayers. I am glad that you are home now and on the road to recovery.

Sweetie, I am sooo sorry to hear you had to go thru this! as if your plate had any room left for more to do right now! sheesh! Did Doc say what could have caused it? Take care and keep us posted!  Hugs! Marianne
