Advice Please....

Hello Friends, Just needed some advice..... The weirdest thing happened to me this morning. I am almost 9 weeks out from surgery and this morning for the first time I threw up. I hadn't eaten anything, I just threw up and it was dry heaves. Is it possible that I could have gotten sick off of something I ate yesterday? When I went back and looked at my food journal my fat content was kinda high for the entire day (like around 30 grams) so I am wondering if maybe that did it? Also for any of you that believe in prayer PLEASE pray for me, I had another CT-Scan done of the area where that infection was with the abscess. I thought it was gone but apparently it is still there. I work for the Public School system here and have to go back to work in 2 weeks and I really would appreciate some prayers for my healing. I am so ready to be "normal" again, whatever that is! Thanks in advance for your advice & prayers! Love, Kathy

Hi Kathy It's weird you still have that infection. How much protein are you getting in? the more, the better, as protein helps you to heal faster. is it possible you threw up because of the infection? I sure hope you can get better before you go back to work. I'll be praying for ya Hugs Linda

Hi Linda, yes it is weird that I still have the infection especially since I don't FEEL sick. I have no fever and I feel fine. I do still have a little hard spot where the wound is but other than that I feel ok. Go Figure!!! Thanks for the prayers. I will also be upping my protein as I haven't been as faithful as I should be with it. Thanks again! Kathy

I wouldn't worry about the puking as much as the infection. Get that under control fast. Have you talked to the doctor about it again? What are they going to do about it? Puking can happen any time for any reason. It will slowly subside. Fix the infection. kp

Hi KP, yes I have talked to my Doctor. I actually started antiobiotics about an hour ago. I did some research on this antiobiotic and it says it is used to treat Staph infections. I was concerned that maybe that is what happened intially that caused the abcsess. My doctors nurse did say that he went back and forth between putting me on the medicine because the infection didn't look that bad but wanted to error on the side of caution. WHO KNOWS!!! Thanks for the advice!! Kathy

Yep. I would puke for no reason even with an empty pouch. Not really a puke but a wretch. I would be mid sentence and have to gaff a bit then I would be fine. It was great the first band camp I did 3 months out and would be speaking through my pa and make a lovely yacking sound -"Clarinets need to be YARF three steps to the right of the 45." Keep on that infection. You need the strength as you get within 50% of your goal. That's when your body will try to fight back and plateau and bump along - basically argue with your new plumbing and when you have all your strength you will be able to keep on track better. kp

Hey little lady, WOW I can't believe you still have that infection. have you had blood work done? That should have showed something. I threw up yesterday after taking a pain pill. Other then that I have not been throwing up at all. Sometimes that is expected I guess that is what I was told. How are you doing otherwise? I will for sure pray for you! I am down to 220 now! Wishing my weight would come off a little faster and just joined Curves! hope that helps. Let me know how you are doing and I will for sure say a prayer for you girl Hugs, Di 254/220/154
