Very scared and very hurting

I still have my staples in and my G-tube. On the right lower abdomen area I have an egg-shaped hard swollen area. I called the doc and I have an appt. on Wednesday. He thinks it is a condroma, and is filled with congealed blood. How bad is this? Has this happened to anyone else? It hurts soooooo bad right now!! I am in excruciating pain (which is why I am up at 4 AM). The incision hardly hurts at all, the pain is concentrated all in this area. The only thing that makes it go away is Lortab, and then I sleep. I am scared to go on Wednesday. I am scared he will put a needle in it and drain it...I wish I was back in the hospital and never left. Also, I know it has only been 8 days but I have not lost one pound. And I have had diahhrea since I came home on Saturday. Everytime something goes in, it comes out. I KNOW I am not getting my protein AT ALL. Thank you to anyone who can answer me...and thank you for this community. I am feeling pretty alone.

Awww, Haley, I'm sorry you're in pain! I know how you're feeling just now, although I didn't have the pain you're having, I know what it's like to be up in the wee sma's feeling alone and in distress. Don't worry about what the doc will do to you, it can only make you feel better. You didn't get this far to let something like a condroma stop you. You WILL feel better and this will all pass soon. My prayers are with you, dear one! Becky Jean

Haley, Hun I am still pre-op but I wanted to wish you the very best...~hugs~ You will get through this and the Dr will make it feel so much better that you will not even worry yourself over how he is doing it. Once it is taken care of you will feel so awesome since you said your incision hardly hurts. I wish you the best and good luck, keep us posted..... Debra P

Haley Wow......I remember all these feelings your having right now. I could not keep anything in at all for a good 2 weeks......Soo I feel that part is normal. Its a shock to our bodies and your body is punishing you right now , in some sorta way !! Trust me, that part will settle down and your body will understand what your doing for it is a GOOD thing and not a bad thing........Just give it time. As far as the other pain.......I did not have a drainage tube or any of that....Soo I cant help you, if the pain is THAT bad right now, you should call your Dr this morning, maybe he can fit you in today instead of tomorrow. The weight loss.........It will come, you may just be storing fluids or gases from the surgery. Hang in there Kiddo It doesssss get better !!! Im thinking of you !! Brenny
