In the hospital again, crap! :(
had to come to ER (St. Alexius) this afternoon, sucks, but I'm truly blessed that we got to do our Mother's Day stuff before the pain/nausea reached a ridiculous level. I'm at St. Alexius in room 609 Bed B (window seat, thank goodness). I hope to just be here for a day or so, need to stop the flow of food/drink and get pain/nausea under control. I also have been tasting some blood in the back of my throat off and on, but the only time I've ever had that was after the EGD when I had the esophageal tear, and I haven't had an EGD since then...place that in the zebra pile? I don't know...my care in the ER was so-so, no rudeness, just bad pain/nausea management due to the heavy flow of patients that all came at once (I brought them with me I guess). It's been one of those things where the pain was an 8/10, meds started coming down, but then it came back and by the time you wait 2 hours, it's back to an 8...vicious cycle, same with nausea :

Sorry to hear that you are having pain and are back in the hospital. I have just recently started reading the complications forum and I read your story after seeing some of your posts. You have really had far more than your share of challenges. I truly hope that your symptoms are brought under control quickly and that any tests come back okay and you can go home soon. Take care.
Thank you Moxy...I spent 6 days in the hospital for pain/nausea control and slowly re-introducing some food back into the system. I have a wonderful primary care doctor that truly cares, and he is not intimidated or offended that the bulk of my care is being taken care of at Cleveland Clinic. I know that sounds silly to say, but I have had docs in the past that seemed offended that I was receiving treatment at Cleveland Clinic...ego problems maybe? I'm just thankful for the members of my healthcare team now.
