Wow,

I guess my ten hours at work took it's toll yesterday.  I actually slept until 7!!! I know, I know, some of you are saying, "tsk tsk, that's sleeping in?"  Well it is for me.  Today I'm not sure what I'm doing.  We have a trip to VA coming soon and we need bucks for that. I know a few bills need to be paid first.  Then I work this afternoon.  I enjoy working Thursday afternoons because it ends in Zumba!  

What are you up to?

Wow, I am tired.  Hubby didn't get to bed until 3:30am and he says he couldn't work a night shift.  Well, I guess he can't. So my sleep wasn't good either.

I get to work all day today!  My advocate at work has been working overtime getting me hours.  Oh and I also think I have a recruit for the WFH business!  So yesterday was a good news day!

How is yours?

I have been in your shoes.  I was finally diagnosed with 2 small bleeding ulcers at the anastamosis site.  After they found out what was causing the nausea and vomitting and started treating it, I was feeling much better.  I too was on TPN at home for a couple of months actually.  If this turns out to be what happens, or if you have any questions or want to comiserate, just let me know.  It will get better and even though I went through a lot of pain and had problems I would still have the surgery again tomorrow.

Hi all,

Went to an interesting discussion last night on genetic testing and how it relates to what diet and exercise program one should do.  Inherent Health is the name of the company who did all the research and clinical trials.  They are very focused on preventive medicine and not on curative.  I am going to try to get all the information typed so I can share with you later.

All this week I work from 7am-10am.  At least I get some hours.  The new manager did not work out. So, we are back to two of us.  We head up to Culpeper this weekend to check on housing.  I hope we find something.

What are you up to?

Topic: Admitted to the hospital again
 Well for those following my progress, I went to the dr yesterday morning and the decision was made to readmit me to the hospital. I was severely dehydrated (which I knew) an I'm very fatigued and in pain. I had a PICC line placed yesterday because the doctor wants me to get TPN at home once I'm discharged. I am having an endoscopy tomorrow to see what (if anything) is causing the nausea and vomiting.  I'm very discouraged. I just want things to get back to normal. I hate being in the hospital and I miss my kids. I'll update when I know more tomorrow.

Topic: Monday Roll Call
Hi all,

Yes it's early.  I woke up about 4am.  So, I washed my hair and rolled it up.  It will look nice, eventually.  Just a reminder, tonight there is a special speaker, a doctor from Duke who will be taking about the relationship between our DNA and how we should eat.  I am very curious about this.  It will be from 6-7pm at 1020 S. Miami Blvd, Durham, NC.  If you are familiar where 70 and Miami split near the Bojangles, go to the left.  You will see the treeline open up on the left.  A gray strip mall is set back from the road.  You will see Beach Bingo, Total Gain, Reliable Health Center, Curves, a church, and a daycare center as some of the shops.  Come into the Curves.  Here is the flyer:

Topic: RE: Still not getting better...

Shannon,

I hear how incredibly hard this is for you and I think you do need to do what you can do to ensure that you are as hydrated as possible. I don't know if is anything else might help with the nausea.  Keep sipping constantly if you can.

You are having a much harder time than normal because of having to recover from the second surgery.  Most people do not have to endure a second surgery and a grueling schedule. If you can work with your administration to let them know what is happening as you work to getting in your requisite hours, maybe that will help some. 

Please, please do take care of yourself. I don't think it's a case of the surgery being a bad idea, but the timing associated with gallbladder attacks and associated surgery have really complicated things for you.
