Hey guys thanks so much for the prayers,calls,post, etc. So here's the scoop, I got a adjustment on 08/11 and done the 48hrs of liquids after a adj, then started on the soft foods and everything was fine, I went to my family reunion on that Sat and done fine. Got up Sun morning and had a protien shake and was still fine. Then it went down hill from there, had a little diarreha (sp) and some chills thru Wed, so I thought it was some kind of bug. But as the week went one I was not getting any better. I knew that we had a appt. with Dr. Morton on Tue, so I just kept babying my belly until then................wrong thing to do. I have lost 27lbs in 15days......again very wrong thing to do. We left Dr. Morton's office and on the way home I got to hurting so bad and so sick, I acutally "asked" Phil to take me to the ER. Of course the wait seemed like hours, but I think it was only about 45 mins. They got me back and started everything, I was a mess, I was hurting, crying, throwing up, etc. It was not a pretty site. They had a hard time finding a vein for my IV so they was having trouble with that. Once they got that in, they started pumping fluids in me, got me some zofran (sp) and dilated (sp). They took xrays and then got me to a room, where I had to have more of the same meds. This morning they took me down to xray and had me drink that wonderful barium(sp), said that things looked pretty good and sent me back to my room. Dr. Morton came in and said that he still wasn't satisfied with that and before he took me to surgery we wanted a more intense xray. So they took me back to xray and they served me yet another of there ****tails. This time Dr. Morton was in there so he could see everything. He was pleased to see that things did look better and he was sending me home.The ride home was a little rough on me and I got in and crashed. I have still only been able to get down one SF popsicle, so I am still extremly swollen and I have really got to take it easy. I am on liquids until Monday, but I am fine with that. So right now we are still on hold for Sat. If I am feeling up to it I still want to be there, but I will be bringing my liquid drink of choice. But it is all going to depend on how things go these next few days. I will let everyone know by Friday night if we are going to be there or not.

 

Love ya'll,

Cheryl

What a time you have had!!! Glad to hear you are home and didn't have to have surgery.  Hope you feel like coming Saturday but the most important thing is to take care of yourself first.
