Surgery Earlier Today..

Well I had an eventful day. Surgery went well (yay)!!! No more stents were needed, just a few balloons, my levels are still high but I think I MAY be close to not having any more surgeries at this point. The internal tube leak test went smoothly and passed!!

I got some tea to drink and just could not get satisfied from liquids. I went to stop on the way home to get me a bottle of water. I went to the trunk to get some lotion. I had had my jacket protecting my tummy. It fell a bit and I noticed my abdomen was wet and my t shirt SOAKED!!! Bile was leaking from my tube OUT onto my skin!! Now I know why I could not get satisfied from the tea. I might as well have dumped it on myself. I was 45 minutes away from the other hospital where I had my surgery. I was just short of panicking. He took me to an ER that was super close. I went in and told them what had happened. They took me back immediately did not even get triaged.

My shirt is ruined so is my coat I was using to protect my abdomen. The Drs and nurses were scared cause they had NEVER seen this happen before. I was so close to going back and having emergency surgery to fix the leak. The Er doc called my Dr who operated on me today. It took a while because the Dr was in the OR with other patients to get a call back The Operating Doc said the leaking was normal. And if I am still leaking tomorrow then to get it looked at. It is still leaking at this point but there is nothing I can do. But hurry up and wait.

I am home in minimal pain (for now). Pain killers are working perfectly. Just a scary incident is all!!

Hope everyone is doing well! Chat later.

Happy (Late) Easter

Easter Eve: It started off like our typical Saturday. I took Erica to her bowling league. She got a 300!! Yep I am not kidding... First game 03 pins second game 0 pins and the third game 0 pins.!!! We are working on aim with her lol. She is the gutter ball queen!!
We went to pick up Ericas new glasses that had came in and get the new lenses in a new pair as well. I love our eye place. I got the ins 15$ to cover 2 pairs of glasses AND lenses for 1 year. Erica needed to get new lenses cause her script changed a lot since August.

We then went to Lunch. To Sallys to pick up something for Erica's unruly head of hair lol. We were going to get hair cuts but there was a 2 hr wait so we skipped it. Came home rested a bit. I was not that hungry for anything I had in the house. Had a good dinner and came home to decorate Eggs with Erica. I have some pics I may post later on, of that fun time we had. Me all I got was blue hands(don't ask).

The only thing that could have ruined my day (had I allowed it) was when I went to my room for a few to read. Erica came in to give me a kiss. She stood on the frame of the bed to reach me and I put my arm around her waist. She leaned back playing I pretended to let go a bit and she got scared. I was smacked right on top of my tube (OUCH)

Easter Day:
Well my day started off in the usual manner. Erica came in to show me her basket. She was so excited!! There was an Egg hunt that the church next door was holding and the complex conjoined with. So I took Erica there.

Finally not a lot to say about my pancreas. Levels are up as of Friday. Surgery on the 19th AGAIN. I have to make an appt for this week to get the results. That is all!! Hope your Easter was Great!!!!

Oh I forgot to say it is my moms Birthday today and her Twin Sisters as well Happy Birthday Mom and Aunt Doby!!

Home and Recovering

Sorry this post is a bit late but I have not felt well lately.

Surgery was last Thursday. A week ago. Took forever to get me into surgery I was about 3-4 hours late for my scheduled time due to my surgeon having to stay in the OR longer than before because of the person before me. I finally went in I was starving and I did not know what to expect.

I woke up in recovery in a fair amount of pain. My abdomen hurt like a mother f(c*#@. Got to my room about an hour later. I then tried to sleep. That did not happen my tummy hurt so bad. I was told that the surgeons said I could go home the next day (Friday) if I was not in TOO much pain and was walking. I was up and walking 9 hours later. I walked and walked. I got stuck walking on the floor of the hosp. My abd hurt and I was dizzy. The nurse had to come get me. So I was finally able to go home on Sat afternoon. I had a decent exp there.

REPORT: Tons of Drs came in and talked to me. Dr. Schoen came in and said that I had a feeding tube in place because Dr Shah (Gi guy) wants access. I have 2 stents in my ducts now allowing fluid to drain properly. Oddly not once did they take my labs while in Denver. I have had labs drawn here 2x since. Well I am anemic, I have been for 2 mos tho now. I have elevated levels again. Now one of them is almost the highest it has been since I started this whole mess in the first place. Which brings me to the conclusion that the pain I have been dealing with that I THOUGHT it was the drain tube is not that at all. It is my pancreas still.

I have a repeat surgery on the 19th. I will be in and out that day. This one is to remove the 2 stents I do have and likely place more in diff areas. I have the tube in for 7 more weeks. UGH this is already old.

This post is getting long nuff I am sure you don't want to read anymore nor do I want to type anymore. Happy Easter Y'all...
