Where has Wiiiiieek! been for the past 2 weeks - operation.

[Wiiiiieek!]

Hello everyone, I need to explain where I have been for the past 2 weeks.

As everyone knows I had an operation.

Well, it went wrong and I have been kept in hospital for 2 weeks with no internet access to let everyone know I was on the mend until I was allowed home this morning.

I hope no one was worried as to where I was. I am now at home being brought glasses of water by Rob (OH) who is taking extremely good care of me.

What happened was that after the gastric bypass, I was allowed home and collapsed in agony - the stitches in my stomach had burst (I wont go into why) and I got the ambulance to hospital. While there I was taken to intensive care with organ failure I was induced into a coma for 7 days, during that time I had another operation to clean inside and repair the stitches. After 7 days in ITU (intensive care unit) I had taught myself how to move my legs again, how to grip things - pick up and put down a cup of water, for example and how to stand again. I was then moved to a ward for recovering people and it was nice to be out of ITU because the new ward had a tv each to watch.

I have been literally making the jaws drop of the consultant, physiotherapists and dieticians with my progress - I am now walking by myself again and doing things for myself again. The only issue I have now is that my ears haven't popped yet and that I didn't use my muscles for so long, it's easy to tire myself out.

I don't want anyone to be woryying about me, as I said, I am astounding the doctors and physio's with my recovery rate and will be back to normal soon, so... I hope everyone have a Merry Christmas!

Monster sized kisses to all...

Update - another hospitalisation

Hello again all,

Sorry I've not been around again, I had to be rushed back to hospital on the 27th at 23:30 by my dad as I was in agony trying to breathe and I developed a fever of 37.5 C. I called the number I was told to if I had any problems and they refused to talk to me as they didn't have my notes and the emergency GP said it could take up to 6 hours to get to me!

We got to A+E about quarter to 1 and after waiting another hour, I was seen by the nurse/ doctor and admitted AGAIN! They took blood from me, put a cannula in my arm, did a chest x-ray and did another CT scan on me and guess what?!

I have a blood clot in my lung - oh joy(!) yet another complication! So I still get sharp chest pains now and then and they've put me on Warfarin as well as all my other medicines.

I have to go back again to have the bile drain sticking out of my belly removed too, so I'll probably be back in for another couple of days after that on the 3rd Jan.

Anyway, hopefully everyone else has had a better Christmas than me and will have a great New Year too.

x to all

 

[paulag]

OMG that sounds absolutely terrible. Take it really easy over the new year. I have sent you a pm.

Paula

 

[Shaz]

Blooming heck you're having a right old rough time of it. Lets hope your recovery starts properly in January!

 

[Farquhar]

Hopefully you will now be on the road to recovery with no more complications. Hope 2012 is a better year for your health......Hugs to you..x

 

[emmalala]

oh my days. I hope you feel better soon x
