I'm Home again

Thanks for updating Melissa. I got home a few hrs ago. I feel like have been run through the mill. Last Mon. I had my follow-up and had my JP removed, it was the WORSE pain in my life and I ve dealt with alot of pain. the Dr. thinks I had a lot of scar tissue build up and the grain was hard to remove. I was released to pureed foods, On Tues. I had about 1/2 oz applesauce, with no surgar and it sat very well, I have had NO issuse with anything so far. but arond 3pm on Tues I started having a hard time breathing with out some discomfort, and it got worse fast. at 3:50 I called my hubby and and he took me to ER. My white blood count wast at 29 norm is between 5-10, I have had no fever, my B.P was was ans my o2 was low, they started runiing tests, and think I may have had a minor heart attack. on top of that they ran a CT and found I have a pocket of fluid(not absess) behind my pouch that is very hard to get to. They wanted to go in thru my back and see what the fluid is, but, Gee, I cant lay on my stomach, so they tried going thru my left rib cage, and couldn't get close enough with out taking a chance of injuring my heart or lung. I will post more as I'm feeling up to it. But I do have a nuclear stress test sched. for tues. so we will see what that says. Thank you all, for all your prayers and well wishes.

Oh my gosh girl you have been through the ringer.  I'm so sorry to hear about your complications.  You'll stay in my prayers that you are feeling much better soon.  (((((gentle hugs)))))

Wow I am so glad you are home now.  Please take extra good care of yourself, I will pray that your stress test goes well on tuesday.  Where are you having it at??  I will also pray that the fluid pocket goes away on its own.

Omigosh!! I am so sorry to hear about the problems and complications you've had the past week.  I'm so sorry to hear you've been through so much, but am just glad that you got to the ER as quickly as you did and that they were able to find out what some of the issues were.  I hope your stress test tomorrow will go OK and that it will give the docs the info they need.  Wow!!  Just know that you are in my thoughts and prayers that this will all pass quickly and you'll be back to good health soon!  Take care of you and keep us updated as you can... Thinking of you....

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers, I just wish I could sleep, sleeping flat on my back is killing me. I'm a side sleeper and just can't handle it yet, although I do try. You all seem like your doing great, keep it up.  I hope to be able to make it to another get together fairly soon, we will have to just wait an see. On the good side of all of this I've lost a total of 26lbs since surgery.

Cindy - You hang in there! You are doing everything right - it will turn out great in the end!  Huggles!

Oh Cindy!!!  I've been so out of touch here...I'm so sorry you are having all this trouble!!  Sending hugs and prayers your way! ~Annie

I am sooo glad you are home! I have been praying for you, and thinking of you often. I hope your recovery speeds up, and you get healthy soon. Best wishes! Amy
