7 days out and i've had enough.
i DO hate whiny people, but i am SO discouraged. Still have a terrible looking stomach, all purple. I was awake for about an hour and a half in the middle of the night, and this morning, barely made it out of the shower i was s o weak. i'm just so discouraged. I wanted to walk, but just cant manage it at all.
Seems strange that the surgeons office hasnt called to check on my progress, since i did have a bleed from my spleen during the VSG. just a bad day. a setback. is this normal?
yes it's normal
Darn, I hate to hear that you had a spleen bleed during surgery. Your spleen is very very VERY vascular so it is normal that your purple all over, you poor dear, we are here to support each other through the good bad and ugly your not being whiny. You've had a tough time .
