Day 46....
Hey Monica,
I'm in the hospital because of severe malnourishment and dehydration, along with having an ulcer in my stomach and a stricture. Surgery is an option to pursue, but I need to gain a lot more weight before I could be medically cleared as being strong enough to survive surgery. So I've been getting my full days worth of vitamins, nutrients, etc through a PICC line. I'm finally strong enough to walk again, I came into the hospital in a wheelchair, unable to walk more than just a few steps.
Damn I am so sorry to hear that you are having all of these challenges. Can you go to the bariatric floor and visit with people who have had surgery. I'm sure you are lonely and bored as hell. I hope you are able to put more weight on and get strong. I wish I lived closer I would come hang out. Please keep us posted on how you are doing. All the best!
Hi Keri, sending you lots of healing energy. I've seen a couple of your posts but unfortunately I don't live in the area. I hope you find someone in the hospital to connect with. Maybe reach out to the nurses to see if there is anyone there, even an elderly patient that is in need of a friend. Good luck with everything
