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.
