I'm Home!!!!

Wow yesterday was such an adventure. The plan was to go in for the scope test and then go home. It did not go as planned. We got to the ER at about 8:45 and right away they put in an IV for fluids. I had just finished my 3 days of 3 hours of IV Fluids and still dehyrdrated. So all in all I think I have had 10 bags of fluids this week.  Then I went in for a C-T scan to see if they could find out anything there. All the found was gallstones. I guess that is something we will have to deal with later.  My surgeon came in before the CT scan to inform me that they will be admitting me for the night. Oh geezz. I did not sign up for that.  Well, about 3:30 or so I finally had the scope test and as Mary updated you I had a very narrow opening. They like the opening to be between 10-22mm and I was not even close to that size. I must say that I did not like this scope test. Its so uncomfortable today my throat still hurts and it almost feels like the scope is still sitting in there. They also found a small hernia another thing to look at later.

Last night I was on a clear liquid and the broth I had seem to go down well. Today & this weekend I'm on full liquids and have only taken a few bites today and so far things are good. I sure hope this is the answer and things just get better from here.  I will have another scope test down in about 3 weeks just to make sure everything is good.  Thank you to everyone for your prayers, support, and thoughts. I really apprecaite it!! It so great to have so many people pulling for me. Love you all!! Hope to see many of you at Eagan Coffee tomorrow!!!

Glad you are feeling a little better anyway and can keep things down. What an ordeal to go through! Hang in there and I hope I can meet you tomorrow!

WOW!!  You poor dear!  I am so glad that you are home and on the mend!  HUGS

Angela, I'm so glad to hear that you are doing better and that the doc's found out what the problem was.  Hopefully the blockage will be the last of your problems and you can resume life and weight loss without major event.

i am so glad you are keeping liquids down .  I am so glad they finally found out what was wrong.  I am gonna come to eagan tomarrow with Anita as long as the roads are fine.  I was so worried about you i almost feel like a stalker or something..  Take care Angela..... PM me your phone # I lost it.   MY bad...... Love ya Marsha

Glad to hear things are on the way (I guess I should say, considering up isn't the direction you want your liquids and food to be going) down...and looking up!  So glad that it wasn't anything worse than it was.  Take care, and keep getting those fluids in!

THANK GOD YOU'RE HOME AND DOING BETTER. Was worried about you...

HI Angela!   I'm so glad that you're on your way to feeling better!  I can  only imagine how miserable you must've been! Here's to good health and a shrinking Angela! ((HUG)) **SUE**

Thank goodness they've finally got things settled! Hope your feeling more like yourself very soon. Hugs L.

I'll still keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I'm glad you are at home and doing better.
