I'm Home and recooping!

Wow--finally home. Spent 10 days at northside with a abcess on my liver the size of a baseball. They had to finally drain it (not a fun experience if you've never had your liver punched into!). An infectious disease dr was called in to help with my case--and now I'm finally home again. I felt like I knocked on death's door a time or two--and my family was frantic that I was dying. I am missing chunks of time and days--and don't remember a whole lot of what happened to me. I had no idea I'd been there 10 days until on day 9 my mom said "tomorrow is day 10 for you!" I was stunned. I knew I had been there a long time--but no idea how long. Dr. Hart took excellent care of me-he met me at 2am at the ER even tho the ER dr. had seen me and been in touch with him....he saw me at least once every single day. I can't say enough about him. I love that man. Thanks to all of you who have inquired or whispered my name in prayer. I needed it! I'm so thankful to be home...so thankful to see my girls. My kids have cried every single time they've come to put their arms around me. I am so thankful to be home with them and have this second chance at life. God is so good to me! Hugs to you all... Michelle

How wonderful to see this post! I raise my hands to God. Hope the rest of your recovery is speedy AND boring! If you need anything Michelle please ask. Gentle hugs to you, Barb

Thanks, Barb! God is so good--I give all praises to Him that brought me thru this mess. I'm praying your surgery is smooth and your recoop is quick! Hugs.... Michelle

how long had you had the absess good thig they were poking aroud in there. i'm glad you are all fixed.No more drama rest and recoup. best of luck.keep us tuned in.

I think I started the abcess the weekend of May 6th--started getting sick and running fever then. It took them until May 13th to find it and then the following Mon. to drain it. I hope no more drama, too--I'm tired of being sick! My days and nights are mixed up (hospitals will do that to you!)....other than that, I'm doing really well. Weak as a kitten, but getting well. Hugs! Michelle

Welcome home Michelle, Praise GOD, he is so good. Glad you are home and on the road to recovery. Take care and get lots of rest. Shon

Michelle, It's great to hear that you are home and doing well!!! As for the liver being punctured.... I can sympathize atleast a little with you there. When they did my liver biopsy I was awake, and remember the puncturing they did on mine... That was miserable, and it will never happen again with me awake. Many thoughts and prayers are still coming your way for a speedy recovery!!!!! Susan

Michelle, I am so glad to hear from you. We have been sitting on pins and needles and waiting every day for updates from Anne. I am sorry you had such a bad experience, but now you are better and hopefully on your way to a great uneventful recouperation. If you need me, I am here for you...sorry i couldnt be closer during your crisis to help you out. D'Lynn

Welcome home, Michelle!!! Praise the Lord that you are on the mend! I am glad you don't remember TOO much! Love, Becky

Michelle, So happy that you are ok we were all on pins and needles waiting to hear about you. I hope the rest of you WLS journey is better and you get better soon. Also that you keep us updated.....Beth
