Well my surgery was wednesday and I got dc'd friday evening. Things went pretty well. I am extremely emotional but not too much pain. Took me 6 and 1/2 hours to get those 16 little cups (1 oz each)down. I never would have imagined. It did not hurt but I got so full so fast. The staff was all awesome at CMMC. So anyway I got home and got situated in my recliner to start sipping water. I gave my lovenox and took my pain med. I went off to try to sleep. I woke up at 2am and heard my husband in pain. He said he had bad stomach cramps. He spent the next 5 hours in agony with dry heaves. I could not sleep. Of course neither could he. At 7am I called his mother and she came down to check on him. I wanted him to go to ER and eventually he went.  He ended up with nausea and pain meds. They say he had a huge gas bubble and fluid trapped in his intestines. They actually have admitted him to keep his nausea and pain under control and keep him hydrated. This came out of nowhere. Last summer he had stomach srgery for reflux and then ended up getting it reversed after it caused him to lose almost 50 lbs. He was only slightly overweight before. He has been having bad gas issues and had said once my surgery was over and I was back to work, he would call his gastro doctor. I asked him if he could have waited until a few days at least after I got back. LOL. Really not funny. I have tried to get my fluids and meds in today and at least some protein. It is hard to stay focused with worrying about him. Good thing our families have stepped up to help. Ug why did this all have to happen at once.  Well I just needed to vent a lttle. Will check in tomorrow.
