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...
