Well I am a loser now!!!!!...........8/15/07
Aug 15, 2007
First let me say that I am sorry for not oising in so long just trying to get ready for the surgery and then having it stare me in the face was abit much for me since I have never faced anything like this before in my life.
But I had my surgery on Aug. 9, 2007 at Parkway Medical Center in Decatur Alabama. I went inat 6:30 am but my surgery didn't get started until around 10:00am and it was over in 1 hr 20 mins. (this surgery usually take 2-3 hours) the surgeon said that it went GREAT!!. I really don't remember a whole lot until later that evening. I had alot of visitors that night and it was great to see my family and friends and to get the phone calls as well. I also was up and walked 2 times up and down the hall way.
The next morning they did a "Leak Test" to make sure that everything was fine. They had me drink something that was like really bad soapy dish water and watched it go down and then had the nerve to have me drink down some barium and watch that too. So glad that was over with. Took a couple of walks around the 2nd floor and took a nap in a chair. Well when I woke up I noticed that my left arm where my IV was, was big and it hurt. I got the nurse and guess what my vein blew. Well ya'll after 9 sticks and 2 1/2 hours of trying to get another vein and 1 REALLY BAD anexiety (sp?) attack, they got a vein gave me a shot of adavan, toradol and morphine I was off to sleep and they pretty much kept me that way for the evening. And I was very glad that they did.
The next dat was better but I was really sore and they started giving me my liquid hydrocodone and I must say this is not great tasting but boy did it make me feel alot better as in I didn't care anymore. The dotor came in and look at me took out my drain tube (really glad I had had my pain meds) becuase it was a bit uncomfortable and then they sent me home.
Danny went and got my meds and some liquid Tylenol because after being home for a little bit I woke up with a 101.5 fever and was in alot of pain. I called and talked to the doctor and I took the Tylenol and pain meds and kept that up all of Sunday and by Monday I was doing alot better. Everyday gets a little bit better.
I saw my doctor today for my Post-Op visit and he said the I am 14 pounds down and healing well, to keep up the good work and he will see me again on Sept. 12th. I promise as I start to feel better I will do better to update my blog. I thanks you all for your well wishes, cards, phone calls, flowers and prayers. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!! and THANKS!!!!!

Wanting to get ugly ........7/11/07
Jul 11, 2007
I ask when he would and all they say is "Well we will ask him to". I explained that it has now been a three weeks and I realize that Dr. Moss's office was on vacation and the Rosie was the next week but she (Rosie) requested this info on Monday 7/9/07 and it is now Wednesday and still nothing. I told them that this was holding me up from getting my surgery and still I get "Well we will ask him" This whole thing can't take 5 minutes to complete.
I am trying to be nice about this because I am told I need this file for Kathy at Dr. Sugg's office to complete my file and send it in to BC/BS. But I am growing angry and I really don't want the ugly side to come out.

Please pray with me on this...........Thanks

She did mention that Dr. Moss did not send them any info for my last appt with him on 6/12/07. So Rosie requested that they fax her the info and she apologized for not getting back to me soon but that she has been on vacation. I told her that I will call her in the morning to find out if Dr. Moss has sent the info needed for Kathy to hopefully file my paperwork with BC/BS.
This is now going on week 3 and still no paperwork filed with BC/BS and I am starting to get chapped about the hole situation. I should be having my surgery around now but this now puts be behind and it is looking like Aug/Sept time frame. But from what I gather this is happening to some other patients as well. (NOT that it makes it right.)
I pray that tomorrow is a better day for me and that I get the answers that I want and need.
