I'm Home and here's the long involved story

 wow Pam I hadn't been online for awhile and just got caught up on your medical drama. Oh my goodness, glad your feeling better. Sounds like Barix and Dr. P took good care of you. 

Thinking about you. Hope you bounce back quickly.

Teresa,

Yup drama is what it was - it was such a loooong day.  Oh well.  Thanks so much!

Pam

Good heavens girl, what an ordeal you had!! You need to sleep for 2 days now to catch up. I'm so glad to hear Dr P was on top of things - we knew she would be - and glad you got to meet Dr Boe - he's a sweetie, too - guess they all are at Barix. But most of all I'm so happy to hear you don't have pain or a bowel obstruction - I guess we were all afraid of that for you. Now you just need to rest - I know you're reading the posts when you can - no need to respond to this one - just get some rest - get hubby's nerves back in order and get that gall bladder checked out as soon as you can. Take care - so happy to see you back and posting. Don't scare us like that again!!   Kathy

Hee hee - sleeping for two days sounds awesome!!  I slept from 4-9 tonight - and I'll be going back to bed probably within the next 1/2 hour or so.  I like responding to the posts - it's kind of relaxing for me.   I'll be calling on Monday to get the gallbladder checked.  I'm hoping they can do the test during one of my days off - we shall see.  Perhaps because I work at the hospital I can give them a sob story of having a few days off and being "squeezed in" during my time off.  I'd prefer not to scare you guys - heck - I'd prefer not to scare myself again!  This definately had me afraid - more so than the actual surgery I think.  Thanks Kathy!

Pam, I'm so glad to hear you are ok!! I had pc problems last night and this morning, so unfortunately I couldnt post anything. I could read, but couldn't respond. You were, and still are, in my thoughts and prayers. Get that much needed rest.

hugs

Thanks Loretta - the prayers and thoughts definately help!  I appreciate all the support!

Pam

Pam, I am so glad that you are okay and home. You have been through quite a bit. I hope you continue to feel better and the testing will give you some answers. Hope to see you Wednesday. Take care and get some rest :)......Stefanie 

Stefanie,

Yes, I definately hope to make it on Wednesday.  I'll need to see how I'm feeling and what not.  Thanks so much for your support!

I have been thinking about you all day and checked OH as soon as I got in this evening.  I am glad you are home and hopefully by now have gotten some rest.   Hopefully - no more pain.  This obstructed bowel problem seems a bit too common here and it is frightening.

Arlene

Arlene,

When they mentioned the obstruction - I was a crazy girl.  I couldn't stop crying - hubby kept telling me it's not my fault - and I kept saying "it's a very very common complication after bypass - this IS my fault."  Oh well.  It was scary - but I'm ok.  I slept for awhile tonight - and will be going back to bed shortly.

I appreciate your concern and thoughts!  It really means a lot to me!
